Tanzanite's Castle Full of Books

The adorable village of Corfe Castle, slong the southern coast of England in Dorset




and the castle of the same name that overlooks it...




Due to its highly defensive position (and perhaps its remote location), Corfe Castle was often used as a state prison.  Henry I's older brother Robert was imprisoned here as was King John's niece Eleanor.  Edward II was kept here in 1326 before he was moved to Berkeley Castle.  This was the last place on our itinerary and it was one of our favorites!
