Over a series of 'what to do in Newark' posts we will share with you some of the delights of our fabulous market town, giving you so many more reasons to come and visit and stay. A huge mention to who has graciously agreed to allow us to use his amazing photos from Newark Guide ( see all his work at www.newarkguide.co.uk )

Dominating your view as you arrive from the Western edge of Newark on Trent is our historic castle built in 1135 making it almost 900 years old! It will soon be undergoing a major development recreating and extending the gatehouse section and adding to its visitor attraction status. Notable events relating to the castle include the death of King John here as well as the significant period of Civil War during the mid 1600's. Also housing the Giltstrap centre you can register your marriage here before heading off to your wedding reception locally! The Castle is closely linked to the national Civil War centre also located in the town and well worth a visit.
