The King's Tower at Corfe Castle, built for Henry I in 1107, has reopened to visitors after 378 years, providing a rare glimpse into royal history.
Thanks to a new temporary viewing platform, the lavish upper rooms of the King's Tower at Corfe Castle can now be seen for the first time since the Civil War.
James Gould, operations manager, emphasized that ongoing conservation is necessary due to accelerated deterioration from climate change, which spurred the recent restoration efforts.
The recent renovation includes a detailed investigation into the castle's structural integrity, revealing a pressing need for maintenance following the extreme weather of 2020.
