Pleasant enough walk through the small gardens and do the 'loop' of the castle ruins along side the river. Some info boards scattered about the place but other than that, nothing more than a half hour amble really but can't grumble as it is free and it is an interesting and impressive ruin in it's own right. I had read that King John of England was killed here which was uncanny as we had recently visited the tomb of King John inside Worcester Cathedral. Parking near the ruins or at St Marks Place and a 5 minute walk.

Having to deliver something in Newark we had a day out. We went on the civil war trail snd arrived here. This would be a lovely spot on a better day but we enjoyed looking round. We really need another visit in summer! We enjoyed all the history

Lovely walk around the castle ruins with my toddler. The park is lovely too. We wandered over the bridge to see it from the other side of the river too. Interesting information board and civil war walk. Newark itself is a nice place to walk around too. Visit the church too, it’s hidden away but quite impressive inside
