Corfe Castle


Visited the town of Corfe Castle a while ago and after going round the Castle went for a walk round the town.

 

 The center has this cross which was dominates the market place 
 
 
The cross has this water pump beside  it

which I thought was quite unique







Opposite is the post office














with an hotel next to it





the main street through the town




dominated by the ruined castle
















while walking back I spotted another pump
Just like the one in the town cente







after circling round we came up another street




that has the smallest Town Hall building in England




it even has a plaque stating that
  then it was back to the center again. We bought some pasties from the baker in the town center which I have to say were the worst I have ever eaten. It left us thinking not  to use that baker again again

Sad the pasties were rubbish. I usually expect the best from small bakers in market towns. Those pumps look interesting and no doubt have an interesting story to tell

I always love when you take a nice long walk around towns there. The sights are so beautiful and so unlike where I live here on the north coast of California. Lovely town there.

Very nice, quiet, little town. Too bad teh pastie wasn't very good.

I love this little tour around the town. That castle when standing certainly commanded the high spot in town.

Sounds like a fun day (except the pasties). Is the water from those fountains drinkable? I like the way they look!

A very charming looking town. Sorry the pastries were terrible.
