Your Ultimate Guide to a Weekend on the Jurassic Coast
"You can either get into your car and drive to Durdle Door for sunset photo or if you have time you can walk your way there. It isn’t close nor easy, but surely is a great experience with some stunning views of this incredible coast. Take some beers and crisps and enjoy the sun go down sitting on the beach at Durdle Door, see the ray of light painting it and changing the coulor of the sea itself, embrace nature and its incredible, speechless beauty. You are almost done for the day, it’s time for dinner, so drive to Wareham and eat some burgers or sausages and mash at Hall & Woodhouse."

Mentioned by Lonely Planet Top Choices
Top things to do in Dorset
"The startling, fractured battlements of one of Dorset's most famous landmarks were once home to Sir John Bankes, Charles I’s right-hand man. The Civil War saw the castle besieged by Cromwellian forces; in 1646 the plucky Lady Bankes directed a six-week defence and the castle fell only after being betrayed from within. The Roundheads then gunpowdered Corfe Castle apart; turrets and soaring walls still sheer off at precarious angles – the splayed-out gatehouse looks like it's just been blown up."

A Day out in Dorset
"If you prefer your morning jaunt a little more on the dry-side, then skip the splashes and make your way to the iconic Dorset landmark, Corfe Castle. Located just a stone’s throw from the waterpark (the castle is visible from the lake), this half-crumbled monument is one of Britain’s most stoic survivors of the English Civil War. Time may have done its worst, but the castle still, partially, stands, welcoming visitors to explore its fallen walls and secret nooks."

Your Ultimate Guide to a Weekend on the Jurassic Coast
"Once you are done, go back to the car and drive to Corfe where you can once again park for free* at Castle. You can then walk up the castle ruins and enjoy the view from there. It’s pretty impressive. But once you are in Corfe, don’t forget to go to the train station for a short time travel when a on old-style train will pass by."
