FAQs
Yes, Newark is well worth a visit – especially if you enjoy a mix of history, riverside views and a relaxed market town feel. It’s a great spot for a weekend break or a day trip. You’ll find a castle, an impressive church and one of the best-preserved market squares in the country. Plus, it’s easy to get around and full of independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs. Whether you’re into antiques, wartime history or just a peaceful riverside stroll, Newark has plenty going on.
Newark is best known for its Civil War history – it played a major role during the English Civil War and is now home to the National Civil War Centre, which tells the story in an interactive, family-friendly way. The town is also famous for Newark Castle, which sits right on the River Trent and dates back to the 12th century. Newark has long been known for its antique shops and regular antique fairs. It’s also got a thriving local market that’s been running for centuries.
Newark is in Nottinghamshire, and there are several towns nearby worth checking out. Lincoln is just over 30 minutes away and makes for a great day out, with its impressive cathedral and old cobbled streets. Grantham and Sleaford are also nearby and you’re not far from the city of Nottingham, either. All of them are easily reached by road or train, making Newark a good base for exploring the surrounding area.
What makes Newark special is its mix of old and new. You’ve got Newark Castle with its riverside setting, historic market square, and Civil War connections, but also a modern town with good shops, eateries and green spaces. It’s small enough to feel relaxed but has enough going on to keep you busy for a couple of days. The River Trent running through town gives it a scenic edge, and with regular markets, events and festivals.
Definitely! Start with Newark Castle, then head to the National Civil War Centre for a bit of local history. If you're there on a market day, have a wander through the stalls selling food, gifts and crafts. The town is also great for antique hunting, with lots of vintage shops around. If you fancy a bit of nature, take a riverside walk or pop over to Sconce and Devon Park, which has open green space and a cafe. There are also boat trips on the River Trent during the warmer months, and regular events at the Newark Showground, from car rallies to food festivals.
Yes, Newark Castle is free to visit! You can walk around the grounds, see the ruins up close and enjoy views of the River Trent at no cost. It’s a peaceful spot, great for a picnic or a bit of sightseeing. There are often guided tours and events held at the site throughout the year, which may have a small fee, but general entry is free.
Yes, Newark is very walkable. The town centre is compact, so you can easily get from the castle to the market square, shops, cafes and the train station without needing a car or bus. The pavements are wide, and there are plenty of places to stop and rest or grab a drink along the way. If you enjoy exploring on foot, it’s a great place to take things slow and soak up the surroundings.
There are some lovely places to walk in and around Newark. Start with a riverside walk along the Trent, where you can loop past Newark Castle, the marina, and several peaceful green spaces. Sconce and Devon Park is also a great walking spot, with open meadows, woodlands, and remains of a Civil War earthwork. If you're up for a longer route, there are countryside paths that take you out of town into the Nottinghamshire countryside. The Castle Line Heritage Trail is another option if you fancy a walk with historical points of interest.
