A landmark on the River Trent and a natural starting point for exploring central Newark.

Published 3 November 2026Facts checked 3 November 2026

Newark Castle is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the town and sits beside the River Trent, close to the historic centre. It works well as part of a wider walk through central Newark rather than as an isolated stop.

Why include it

The castle gives useful context to Newark’s history and is conveniently placed for combining with the market area, riverside and other central sights.
