Grian has done a brilliant job restoring Corfe Castle to its former glory," National Trust archaeologist Martin Papworth says. "He not only accomplished an accurate recreation of the various historical styles within the castle grounds, but also miraculously combined it with his own imagination. We cannot wait to see more inspirational designs by more young minds!"You can download the ruins of Corfe Castle today to have a crack at rebuilding the landmark from the ruins for yourself, and folks will even be available to play on the actual castle's grounds on July 31st as part of the National Trust's Festival of Archaeology.
