Corfe Castle

⚠️ Traffic Alert! Please note, temporary traffic lights at the bottom of Corfe Castle are causing long delays to/from Swanage and Wareham this morning. #TravelDorsetAlert @TravelDorset @Bournemouthecho

All back to normal this morning — although a couple of cars are still waiting to be recovered, so take care when driving around the castle. If you share any photos or videos of the floods last night, please tag us in 🙏 #corfecastle #dorset #TravelDorsetAlert

@itvmeridian @Bournemouthecho Yes, thank you for asking - credit greatly received 🙏

@CorfeCastleUK @Bournemouthecho Hi team, would ITV Meridian be able to use these with a credit to you?

⚠️ Please note, the road around Corfe Castle is currently flooded and there are large queues in both directions. Please take care out there! #corfecastle #traffic #dorsettraffic #dorsetweather @Bournemouthecho

Update: the road around Corfe Castle is back open — but still a lot of surface water. Please note: Corfe river is tidal, next high tide in Poole harbour is just after midnight and it's likely the road around the Castle will be flooded again — please take care 🙏

@Bournemouthecho Hi, bit of chaos here, but we’ll get through it — more than happy for you to use the images/video, if you can create us that would be great 🙏

@CorfeCastleUK Thanks, hope it's all ok down there! Do you mind if we use these pics please? Happy to credit.

Video from 4:30pm — road is still flooded and a number of cars are now stuck! Please take care out there 🙏

We are also hearing reports that #Swanage, #Studland, #Stoborough and #Wool roads are flooded in places.

Can you spot Corfe Castle in this painting of Badbury Rings by Arts & Crafts paintier George Heywood Sumner? #corfecastle #hillfortswednesday #dorset

@Lee_EdmondPriv @Durotrigesdig @NTKingstonLacy Looking closer at the original image, you can see Corfe Castle in the top right between the hills, and what looks like Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour. Fascinating painting.

@Lee_EdmondPriv @Durotrigesdig @NTKingstonLacy Looks like farmers ploughing a field near Badbury Rings 🤔

It's #HillfortsWednesday (huzzah!) Here's the multivallate Iron Age enclosure of Badbury Rings @NTKingstonLacy #Dorset looking south to the sea Part of a glorious painting created in 1914 by the supremely talented George Heywood Sumner 🤩
