Event Information

Sold Out. If you would like to join a waiting list to be informed of any cancellation spaces and future Corfe Castle & Swanage trips, you can do so here: https://cardiffstudents.typeform.com/to/PEA1tiey

The dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle dominate the sleepy Purbeck hills. With over 1,000 years of history, the castle has seen its fair share of history, from the Anglo Saxons, the Norman’s in 1066, through to being a private house in Elizabethan times and now being a popular attraction and even a filming location. From the top of the castle you look down on the idyllic village below, with its beautiful stone houses and the church of St Edward in its centre.

The rest of the day will be spent in Swanage, the most Eastern town of the Jurassic Coast. From the seafront are spectacular views over the coastline, especially from the historic pier, where you can spot Old Harry’s rocks jutting out to sea. The town itself has menagerie of independent shops and coffee houses, or you could simply opt to have a traditional fish and chip supper on the beach -washed down with an ice cream of course!
