The Walk
Despite a
dull, windy day, we drove down to Corfe Castle and parked in the National Trust
car park. We then walked across the railway line, through the deserted Norden
railway station, and took a circular route that brought us back into Corfe
village. This is where Sue caught up with us.After lunch we followed West Street until we came out on the hill top with a magnificent view of the countryside and also a howling gale. We came to a mud-bath that looked almost impassable, so we doubled back into the village and made our way back to the NT information centre. We were just in time for tea and coffee (and time to start their public jig-saw puzzle) before they closed the shop.
An enjoyable walk to blow away the cob-webs.
The Pub
The Fox
in Corfe Castle village. This is a very old establishment dating back to 1568. We
had to wander down an alleyway to find our way into it, but the search was
worthwhile. We have eaten here before and enjoyed the food. Today, everyone was
happy with the meal selection, especially the pie-eater. “Nine-and-a -half out
of ten,” he declared. The other half is held in reserve in case we one day find
something even better.
Next Week
Meet at
Trudy B’s house at 1030 for a walk on Canford Heath.
