Newark Castle stands by the side of the Trent. It was built in the 12th century. It was here where King John died in 1216. After the Civil War the town people of Newark were ordered to destroy the castle. Fortunately, their job wasn't completed. In recent years, some limited restoration of the castle has been carried out.
The historic market town of Newark is dominated by its ruined 12th century castle. It occupies a strategic, defensive position on the river Trent and close to the Fosse Way, an important Roman road. Newark is an attractive market town situated on the river Trent and close to the Fosse Way and the Great North Road, now the A1. Because of its position it was of great importance during the Civil War in which it was a Royalist stronghold and withstood three sieges. There are many interesting historic buildings in Newark and the charming Market square is well worth a visit. The cobbled market place has been used several times as a film and TV set for historical and other dramas. From all directions narrow streets lined with Georgian houses lead here.

The Castle Barge is Newark''s famous floating pub. Formally a grain barge, built in 1923 it was converted into its present form in 1980.

Serves typical bar food daily although the range is small (small galley) it is reasonable value.The pub is situated just on the edge of Newark by the bridge near the castle. Worth a visit.
