Corfe Castle, Dorset
Model village
1 min
Do you have a child enraptured by castles and British history or are you looking for ways to support school learning by adding a physical real-world element? If yes, then the Corfe Castle model village is a must do attraction for your family.
Built to be a 1/20 th scale model of the original castle and village as it was in 1646 before its destruction by Oliver Cromwell, it is the perfect way to bring the area to life after visiting the ruins of Corfe Castle as it stands today.
There is plenty to see and do with a fairy garden and fossil corner to explore, as well as giant games for the family to enjoy together and life-size civil war soldiers to take pictures with. If you like a funny family photo, don’t miss the stocks!
It was a big thumbs up from us so head over to the website for all the information you need to plan your visit and don’t forget to let us know what your favourite things were!

Seeing the castle as it looked before destruction helps children understand the ruins across the village.
The handcrafted buildings reward slow exploring and close looking.
Fairies, fossils and giant games add variety for children who are less interested in history.
It works brilliantly alongside a visit to the real Corfe Castle.
