Battle Mead, Corfe Castle

"New" Corfe Castle is centred on a small network of leafy suburban style streets to the south of the historic old village.
Battle Mead no doubt commemorates the castle's role in the Civil War when it was a Royalist stronghold besieged by Parliament forces.

This area looks to have been an old orchard at one time.
