I Can See Corfe Castle

Every family has unique traditions. Paige and her family, on their road trips down to their summer holiday site, race to say, "I can see Corfe Castle, and Corfe Castle can see me!"

Corfe Castle was built and owned by a lot of important figures: King Alfred who burnt the cakes, William the Conqueror, Kings Henry the I, VII, and VIII, King Edward, and King John. It served as a prison and once housed the royal jewels. Now it's owned by the National Trust, which means a pricey entry fee, which Paige's mum kindly paid.
