Newark Castle Ruins

Highlight • Monument

Newark Castle has weathered many historic storms. After the British Civil War, it was deliberately vandalised and as it stands now, partially destroyed, it acts as a reminder of Newark's turbulent history. It was also the scene of the death of King John in 1216. Find out more about King John.

This listed 12th century monument is set in beautifully maintained Green Flag winning gardens, with the River Trent flowing beside them. Designed by eminent Victorian landscape architect, H.E. Milner, the Grade II listed gardens were officially opened on 24th May 1889, the day of Queen Victoria’s 70th birthday.

Caffe Velo Verde

Highlight • Cafe

Fantastic cafe! 100% cycle friendly (aside from the gravel to wear down your cleats). Located on the same site as an eco centre with lots of outside seating. Plenty of space indoors too. Designated bike racks decorated with race numbers outside. Coffee enthusiasts paradise with many types to choose from including novelty beverages such as "espresso tonic". Cakes were divine with vegan and gluten free options. Also the breakfast sandwiches and paninis are meant to be pretty epic. Indoors has a large social table for large groups or smaller groups wanting to socialise with new people.
