Newark Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The largest gateway of any castle in England graces this largely 12th century castle. The castle belonged to King John, and it was here that he died in 1216 after his infamous "surfeit of peaches". Do not confuse this Newark Castle with the similarly named castle in Glasgow, Scotland.
