Guide To Newark Castle

Lovely grounds and a pretty river walk to peek at the beautiful views of the castle! The castle has a great history from the middle ages. Great for a picnic!

Came to Newark for a 3-day Steampunk event in the Market Square.

The castle is located next to the main road & canal. There is a lovely little park on the other side of the canal and its only a short walk to get into the castle grounds.

Once in the castle (which is free entry) only one tower and wall is standing and you can look out of a large arch looking over the canel and park. There is a lovely grassed large grassed area that would be good in the summer for picnics etc. and a band stand. There were a few walk ways and entrances into the tower etc. but these were all locked up for some unknown reason.

There was a seperate building with toilets in and parking is across the other side of the canal and is only £3.70 for thd whole day.

Lovely old ruins with a fascinating history. We were visiting Newark for shopping and had a wander around here when we got off the train. The gardens were laid out beautifully with flower beds full of tulips and we were lucky to have been blessed with glorious weather too.

Enjoyed reading about the history of the castle. Beautiful situation and the nearby castle barge cafe served a delicious lunch. Dog friendly too.
