Walk 1: Vibrant Park to Castle Grounds (1.5 miles / 1-2 hours)
From a vibrant, yet historic park, right next to a bustling marina, this walk leads you along cobbled streets and a riverside path with otters at play. Soon you'll cross the Trent at a busy lock and walk the length of the castle on the far side of river. Now it's up into the town, past a magnificent church and Newark's historic marketplace, before curling back to the castle with stunning views all around.
Walk 2: The Castle to Friary Gardens (1 mile / 1 hour)
The start of this walk gives you a guided tour of the castle ruins and its delightful grounds. The it's up into the town, past many of its shops on byways ancient and new. Pass through Newark's fascinating Royal Market square before exploring the grounds of its splendid 15th century church. Now its down another striking street, past a former friary to end at a park, once the friary's gardens.
Both walks are wheelchair and buggy friendly (there's a marked diversion on the first walk to avoid steps)
