Most of the cottages in Corfe Castle are very old, dating back hundreds of years and many are said to have been made using the stone from the blown up castle. The cottages around the village square and leading away along East and West St are the oldest. As you reach the out limits of the village the houses turn into more modern types of houses – mostly detached with good sized gardens.
The older cottages tend to have lower ceilings and steeper stairs – so those with mobility problems might want to chose from the more modern houses that can be found on the roads coming off of East St and towards the end of West St (which leads to Corfe Castle common). The village itself is fairly easy to get around with pavements along the main roads. Families are very well catered for as the beach is only five miles away and there are lots of attractions that are aimed at families.
