- 🚂 All aboard for an enchanting tour of Corfe Castle Village! 🏰
Join us as we embark on a magical journey to the picturesque Corfe Castle Village in Dorset, England. Our adventure begins with a scenic steam train ride from Swanage, setting the perfect tone for exploring this historic gem.
As we arrive, you'll be captivated by the village's charming atmosphere and quaint architecture. We'll stroll through its narrow streets, discovering delightful shops, and traditional pubs. A visit to the Town Hall Museum, the smallest in England, offers a glimpse into the village's rich past.
Step back in time at the Corfe Castle Model Village, a meticulously crafted replica depicting the castle and village as they appeared in 1648, before the English Civil War. Witness the castle's grandeur and imagine life within its walls before its destruction.
For breathtaking panoramic views, we'll venture to the Corfe Castle viewpoint. Although the hike may be challenging, the reward is well worth the effort.
No visit to Corfe Castle would be complete without seeing the iconic castle ruins. While we won't be entering the castle on this tour, we'll wander around its base, admiring its imposing structure and imagining its former glory.
Throughout our journey, you'll be treated to the captivating sight of steam trains chugging along the viaducts, a reminder of the village's railway heritage.
By the end of this video, you'll understand why Corfe Castle Village is a must-visit destination for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a truly enchanting experience.

Another delightful video from The Memory Seekers. The village and it's model are adorable. Love the ending on the train!
Thank you, very kind.
Despite the rain, still a beautiful film.
The miniature village was also very nice to see!
Thank you !
Yes we got by, sunshine and showers!
What wonderful country England is 🏴❤️ !
Thank you for this trip down memory lane , I last visited Corfe Castle over 35 years ago from Australia and it was not quite as busy back then! I love all your videos but especially the Dorset ones; such a beautiful part of England. I really appreciate all the historical facts you incorporate into all your videos also, they are so interesting! Thank you both.
Thank you for watching, so please we were able to stir the memories. ☺
Your channel is absolutely brilliant. Great photography and narration. As someone living across the pond, it's great to see other beautiful parts of the world. I've been binge watching your videos to catch up. Thank you. Have a pint for me.
Thank you very much, glad to read you are enjoying some of our videos!
Love the model!
Merci infiniment de Belgique pour cette charmante vidéo!... Quel beau village et quel majestueux château!... Je suis toujours en admiration pour le respect que vous avez pour votre patrimoine et votre histoire très riches tous les deux. J'ai hâte de suivre vos prochaines vidéos!
Absolutely lovely film is it a gorgeous place, last time we were there in 2004, my wife, daughter 14, son 11 and I walked from Swanage to Corfe Castle (we're lucky our kids loved walking), then returned by the steam train, thanks for the memories Simon and Will.
Wow, beautiful place 😊
Thank you, you guys!😊
That was a weekend aways worth of a video for us.... Both disabled.
Plenty of interesting views and info!
Love the music you add!
Your videos are always a joy!😊
So glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you. Pleased we can share our travels with you.
Wonderful. How lucky English people are to have the opportunity to live in villages like this.
These two videos of Corfe Village and its Castle are fascinating additions to your channel and your work.
Thank you very much and thank you for watching!
Great tour of Corfe Castle and the lovely village. It brought back lots of lovely memories from when I visited as a teenager. We stayed in Swanage and took the train too. We were camping in my parent's campervan. It must have been about twenty years ago, so I'll definitely have to organise a trip to return to Swanage and Corfe Castle at some point! Thanks for sharing your time here :)
A number of people have said it was the family holiday location 20 or 30 years ago. We always went to Wales as kids, and this was our first time down that way.
You never stop surprising me 😊 with ur wonderful videos, England's beauty is beyond words ❤ I'm in love with her forever 😍 I can't thank u enough for such a mesmerizing views , photography & perfect visuals. Train ride would be so good to explore personally, cemetery looks so peaceful as well as whole village. Castle views, hills, the square ,the streets & village model is magnificent 👌 my heart thrives to walk the grounds so much ♥ thanks for sharing the extraordinary beauty 👍
Arriving by train and a steam one at that, really sets the scene as you enter the village. It does have so much to offer for those that like history and the past.
Brilliant video, it looks such a beautiful place!
It really is!
What a wonderful village. All so very interesting. Loved the little village as well. Enjoyed very much. Hugs and blessings
Ah the little village is quite something. What a great idea to build it all those years ago.
Firstly, I love your channel! Secondly, that tiny model Village is so exquisite, I actually believe there are some Lilliputians living there! 💜💜💜
Lilliputians 😂 yes there could be indeed. It is so cute. Lots of comments saying the same. Everyone adores it.
The train station is straight out of a fairy tale!!!❣ You're so right. We have to visit that idyllic place of England one day. Thanks for your nice (as always) video. 🌹 Greetings from Athens facing the first heat wave. ⛱🌡🌞
Certainly is one of the most stunning stations and views on arrival. Try and keep cool! ☺👍
ENJOYED TO WATCH ANOTHER VIDEO OF ENGLAND SMALL VILLAGE. FANTASTIC TRIP!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING. 👀🤗👍🏻👑🎉🍎💟🌻
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching.
Yet another fantastic video!! LOVE the model village, i could explore that little gem all day! Thank you for sharing and special thanks to Will for hiking to the top of that hill for those amazing vantage points of the castle!
It was just a bit to steep for me, we had already done quite a lot of walking that day and I was bushed! 😂
Thanks for allowing me to see where my ancestors came from. ❤ I loved seeing the train , castle and the sweet little village.
Oh wow, a very personal video for you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Visiting places with you is always peaceful
Keep up the good work
So kind thank you!
Thank you for this new vídeo! It's amazing! I always see all of your videos about English villages! I love so much !🙏👍👏🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷
Thank you for watching as always. ☺
Ah, lovely, thank you. I think my Mum-in-Law will.l like this and be tempted for a visit!
Another beautiful adventure! Such a lovely village. I loved the model village it is so cute! Thank you so much❤❤❤
Yes it was a pretty little model village. Very cleverly done. ❤
One day I hope you do a video covering all the historic castles you have visited. I''m sure it would be extremely educational and interesting. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Do you mean like a compilation?
@@MemorySeekers Yes, I believe it would be very good.
It would be fun to make a timeline of era's in one of the streets showing the different life styles of the times. The houses stay the same but the fashions/ ways of life change. Sigh another place I feel I could live. =-) Thanks as always.
Thank you for a great walk around Corfe. Dorset is my favourite, it doesn't get the attention that Cornwall does ( hopefully) . I love the model village, with it's own model 😂
Thank you for Simon ❤❤😍🤩👍💐
You are welcome
Que hermoso pueblo en miniatura con tanto detalle que parece que , vivieran personas allí.
Felicitaciones porque siempre entregan la historia de Inglaterra con fechas, nombre de los personajes .
Ustedes son historiadores y muy profesionales.
Saludos de Chile.
Muchas gracias por el lindo comentario. Me alegra mucho que disfrutes viendo y los pequeños fragmentos de historia que intentamos agregar a los videos para que sean de tu interés. Todo lo mejor Simon y Will.
That was really awesome. What a beautiful village and castle. Loved the tiny one. Looks like such a great place to holiday. Loved the video. Please take care

Great video 👍
All these villages are deserted ?
Or people still live there ? So well maintained ancient villages.... It's so beautiful....miniature model village is so sweet and also the train journey...loved it 😊
Nice 👍🏻
❤
💙💙💙💙💙
😊
Hello Simon / Will very good love this video , I wonder if they got the idea of the model village from Bourton - On - the - water or was Corfe built first . I have place on my list to visit . Thank you.
Bourton was opened in 1937 so it is possible I guess. Corfe was 1966
@@MemorySeekers Well done Simon hahaha I knew you would find out . 👍
Price of coal now for swanage railway is becoming an ever increasing problem these days. Perhaps they will run more diesel trips to keep going but that’s not the same at all. If you can please support swanage railway, many who work there if not all are volunteers
Yes I have heard they are struggling which is shame, hopefully this video and the one on Swanage will inspire people to support and visit.
@@MemorySeekers It’s such an important part of Swanage’s local economy.
"Would the passengers for Corfe......"
150,000❤
Have you ever filmed the Isle of Man?
Yes we have a video on the Isle of Man here czcams.com/video/IALXdWZTYBY/video.htmlsi=HdbOvJarMDfRcEVT and have been back but yet to edit a new video with more places to visit there.
Thanks so much❣️
Code castle doesn’t look like it’s on a natural hill to me. Very close by I am always intrigued about another hill that exists very nearby and that doesn’t look natural either to me. Another part of a defence system perhaps?
I didn't think it was a natural hill either but in my research it came up a number of times as a natural hill?
@@MemorySeekers Interesting. It just looks like it has been built or built up for defence purposes to see far and wide. This hill here in the attached image (if I can attach it) right opposite corfe castle I am often intrigued by it as if it is also part of the defence of Corfe Castle and maybe overlooked historically? What do you think ? I cannot seem to attach that photo I took from Google maps to show the other hill. It starts from the bridge area, again an unnatural looking hill with the road going right through the middle of the 2 hills there
Really do enjoy your videos... but please stop saying Oliver Cromwell led Parliament... he didn't.
sir Simon, very cute
good one.
Thank you
