With its fallen walls and secret places, it is a place to explore, a giant playground for children of all ages. The demolition of the castle in 1646 by the Parliamentarians marked the end of a rich history as both fortress and royal residence. One of Britain's most majestic ruins and once a controlling gateway through the Purbeck Hills, the castle boasts breathtaking views and several waymarked walks.
