If you are visiting Corfe Castle then the Swanage Steam Railway is
definately the best way to arrive at Corfe Village. The six miles of
track between Swanage and Norden pass through the spectacular Isle of
Purbeck countryside with dramatic views of Corfe Castle.
Like many revived railways in the UK the Swanage Railway is no
exception and relies on volunteers for its day to day running and
restoration. The railway is currently working towards restoring the
rail link from Wareham and providing a daily service to connect with
main line trains.
Great care has been
taken to keep the railway station preserved and looking as it would
have looked in the days of steam. Baggage stacked outside on the main
platform really do add to the authentic look and feel of this station.
Definately worth a visit.
