Isle of Purbeck
The Isle of Purbeck, not a true island but a peninsula, is in the county of Dorset, England. It is bordered by the English Channel to the south and east, where steep cliffs fall to the sea; and by the marshy lands of the River Frome and Poole Harbour to the north. Its western boundary is less well defined, with some medieval sources placing it at Flower's Barrow above Worbarrow Bay. The most southerly point is St Aldhelm's or St Alban's Head. It is suffering erosion problems along the coast.
Purbeck Hills
The Purbeck Hills are a ridge of chalk downs in Dorset, England. The ridge extends from Lulworth Cove in the west to Old Harry Rocks in the east, where it meets the sea. The hills are part of a system of chalk downlands in southern England formed from the Chalk Group which also includes Salisbury Plain and the South Downs. For most of their length the chalk of the Purbeck Hills is protected from coastal erosion by a band of resistant Portland limestone.
Swyre Head
See also Swyre Head near Durdle Door. Swyre Head is the highest point of the Purbeck Hills and the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, on the south coast of England. The hill Swyre Head lies about two kilometres southwest of the village Kingston, about five kilometres south of Corfe Castle and eight kilometres west of Swanage. Although not very high, its relative height is such that it qualifies as a Marilyn. The chalk hill is part of the extensive Southern England Chalk Formation.
Corfe Castle Hundred
Corfe Castle Hundred was a hundred in the county of Dorset, England, containing only the parish of Corfe Castle. It was sometimes also referred to as Corfe Castle Liberty.
Scoles Manor
Scoles Manor is a listed Grade 2* building two miles from Corfe Castle, Dorset. It is believed to be the oldest continuously occupied building in the parish of Corfe Castle. The main part of the house was built in 1635 and there is a medieval structure attached which has been dated to 1280 and which was either a chapel or a small hall house. The name Scoles is derived from the family called Scoville or Scovil who originally came from the village of Escoville in Normandy.
Blashenwell Farm Pit
Blashenwell Farm Pit is a 11.4 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Dorset, notified in 1954.
Blue Pool
Blue Pool is a flooded, disused clay pit where Purbeck Ball Clay was once extracted. It is now a lake within the Furzebrook Estate, a 25-acre park of heath woodland and gorse near Furzebrook on the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset, south England. Furzebrook Estate is about 2 km south of Wareham and 5 km east of Corfe Castle. The pool started life early in the 17th century as a chalk pit. Purbeck Ball Clay was dug from the pit from the mid 17th century to the early 20th century.
Bucknowle Farm
Bucknowle Farm is the site of Romano-British findings. Bucknowle Farm is located one kilometre southeast of Church Knowle, one kilometre southwest of Corfe Castle village. It is about seven kilometres south of Wareham and approximately nine kilometres west of Swanage in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset, in the south of England. A number of Romano-British sites have been discovered and studied on the Isle of Purbeck.
