UK Weekend Breaks | DORSET | Corfe Castle & The Jurassic Coast

Discover the gorgeous English southern coastline of Dorset.
The first part of this video we visit the beautiful village of Corfe Castle, by the spectacular ruins of the castle. From here we walk out to the village of Kingston, the view point of Swyre Head before looping back around to Corfe.
The second walk we head to Worth Matravers, another cute village, close to the shores of the Jurassic Coast. We follow the Priests Way, then walk down to Dancing Ledge, along the South West Coast Path to Winspit Quarry, St Aldhelm's Head, Chapman's Pool and then back to Worth Matravers.

Hope everyone enjoys this short and simple video. Each of these UK Weekend Break videos will have a slightly different style, vibe, and be with different people (although the next one in Cornwall is with my mum too). Plus this video was the last one I shot with my old camera and mic (was filmed before the Surrey video). Cornwall video onwards will all be 4K - and a more wind resistant microphone ;) Got some big tour announcements coming up in the next few weeks, will be hosting 5 different tours around the world from Oct '21 - Sep '22, so keep your eyes pealed for that info. And I'm starting to solidfy my summer European trip plans now :) Anyway, hopefully Cornwall video will be ready for next weekend! :)

[@sugreev2001]

Loving this series, bro. The English countryside is one of the most beautiful areas on the whole planet. Always wanted to buy a little country home or cottage in Dorset, Devon or Cornwall. Hell, any place west of London would be nice, just outside of the big cities.

[@matthewcouchman6101]

Nice video. I've just moved to just outside Southampton and am looking forward to exploring Dorset.

[@paulhanson5164]

The Waterloo to Weymouth line passes through Southampton, if you get off at Wareham you are only 2 or 3 miles from Corfe, if you get off at Wool you are close to Lulworth and Durdle Door. I think the steam train featured runs between Wareham and Swanage via Corfe.

[@deanwalker6262]

Thank you brother

[@karlwatsondocs]

Enjoy :)

Never been to that part of dorset been to Westbay, Weymouth lots of times Portland and Osmington.

Them stairs seemed huge😱so cool, can’t wait for the Cornwall episode. Was meant to shoot Astro many times at Corte Castle but could never make it, still on my wish list.Btw I think it’s really awesome you get to hike with your mum, my mum is a bit too old and struggles with hiking so we can only go on hills with chair lifts, funiculars etc but I hope this summer I’ll also be able to make a video with my mum and my kids from a short trip somewhere in the mountains 😀

[@dissidentfairy4264]

What a beautiful place. Some of my best memories are hiking with my mom so enjoy! I love the cherry blossoms. It's a magical experience when they fall like pink snow. I got to experience it in New York City. Why would they blow up the 11th century castle? That's sad. The rock quarry was fascinating but nothing surpasses the beauty of the turquoise sea. Lol about your mom and the 20 year-olds:-) I climbed all the way to the top of Mt. Whitney with my parents when I was about 13. We passed some super husky/athletic type women. (They looked like mountain women) They were wearing heavy duty mountain boots. They scoffed at me and said I'd never make it. They said they tried 3X's and could never make it to the top. I was petite wearing light weight sneakers that probably weren't even suitable for climbing, but guess who made it all the way to the top? 14,000 feet? Me! Lol Your mom's story made me think of it:-)

[@ChrisBatey]

There were so many shots of your Mum ahead of you on the walk, I'm surprised she didn't turn round and shout 'hurry up Karl!'

[@karlwatsondocs]

Ha! 😊 too busy stopping and messing around with the camera

[@eddy3011]

Great to see a different part of the world. No wonder why there are so many British landscape photographers! Ever consider doing a travel guide for London?

[@karlwatsondocs]

May do something round London at some point but there’s sooo much content out there about London, hard to have a fresh angle, and you don’t have the same wide eyed enthusiasm for where you live than a foreigner visiting it

[@clungebuster420dayz9]

In the village theres alovely lil pub that does home brews 🍺

[@paulhanson5164]

Great videos but you need to brush up on your pub guide skills, you missed 3 of the 4 pubs in Corfe😉 Worth Matravers to Swanage via Winspit and then along the coast path is a good walk and as I live in Bournemouth that means I don't have to drive and can enjoy a few pubs along the way. The Square and Compass is a special pub and just before you reach Swanage you'll pass Durlston Castle, well worth stopping off there for a pint, the views from the terrace are spectacular.

[@robertpavey5615]

I'd love to see your take on Wiltshire, Norfolk and Derbyshire. Loads to see in those counties.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Hopefully get round to them at some point :)

Where did William the Conqueror get the stone for Corfe Castle?

[@tamaracarter1836]

Corfe Castle is built in Purbeck Limestone from the area (the Isle of Purbeck), which has been quarried for over 2000 years. This is why all of the villages and towns across this area are built of Purbeck limestone. The interior of Corfe Castle was decorated in Purbeck Marble, which has been used in many of the Great Medieval Cathedrals across the Southern half of England for centuries.
