The village of Corfe Castle

Named after the Norman castle ruins, Corfe Castle village nestles in a gap in the chalk ridge that makes up part of the Purbeck hills. The castle has to be one of the most photographed locations in the county, so it's something of a challenge to come up with something different.

Photographed on the descent of Nine Barrow Down (the Ordnance Survey map show 12 Anglo-Saxon tumuli), the Down is 196 metres above sea level at its highest point. It's something that separates the casual snapper from the more determined shooter, as the climb is either long and slow, or swift but steep, depending on which end you start.

There's a shot here that I have yet to perfect, and I know it will be down to chance when - or if - I get it.
