Castle View Visitor Centre houses the award-winning Study Room packed with activities to bring Corfe Castle's turbulent past to life. The activities are ideally suited to Key Stage 1, 2 and early KS3, led by National Trust staff and volunteers. Children can try medieval building technology, sort archaeological finds, and complete jigsaw puzzles of medieval scenes. They can wear royal apparel, peasant garb or the arms and armour of a medieval or Civil War soldier.
Replica pitch-lined leather buckets, medieval pattens (shoes) and authentic aromatic herbs complete this unforgettable experience of castle life. National Trust staff and volunteers can lead guided tours of the castle to complement the study room experience. The public Visitor Centre adjacent to the Study Room has interactive displays illustrating the story of the Castle within the Isle of Purbeck. The Study Room is also a good base for studies of Corfe Castle village for any age. |
