Henry I wanted Corfe Castle to be one of his most splendid royal palaces and fitted it out with the latest decoration and fashionable facilities. His exclusive penthouse-style royal living quarters at the top of the Keep really was cutting-edge for its time.
This viewing platform, erected by the National Trust as part of a major £2 million conservation project, offers visitors a rare chance to stand where medieval kings once ruled.
There is so much history to explore at Corfe through the eyes of kings both famous and infamous, and visitors will have a unique chance to experience it from this special vantage point.
The platform was granted rare permission by Historic England, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the Purbeck countryside and inspect the tower's 'appearance door' up close.
