Corfe Mullen
Village
Featured in the Domesday Book, the residential parish of Corfe Mullen takes its name from Saxo-Norman meaning ‘a mill in a gap’ and the mill, on the River Stour, sadly no longer in use, is described in the book as the most valuable corn mill in Dorset. For many years Corfe Mullen was important for smugglers, acting as a point of distribution and forwarding centre for contraband landed in Poole Harbour and along the neighbouring coastline.
The largest parish in England, Corfe Mullen has a number of shops, a leisure club and two pubs.
