In total there are nine castles in Dorset, here s a look at some of them:
Lulworth Castle
Lulworth Castle is open for all to visit (Echo).
Built between 1606 and 1610 Lulworth Castle was primarily as a hunting lodge, but has subsequently played host to five reigning monarchs. The castle was even seized by the Roundheads during the English Civil War, who used it as a garrison. The castle has been owned by the Weld family since Humphrey Weld returned after the Civil War in 1651. It stood as a ruin for nearly 70 years following a disastrous fire in August 1929, which raged for three days, gutting the interior.
