Castle on the River Trent

Today we had a ride out to Newark, a place really that I have only seen from the relatively new A46 dual carriageway, don't usually need to go in to the town. However our car dealer in Lincoln has this week ceased trading & Newark is now the nearest to us, so we went to have a look.
Whilst there we had a wander around Newark Castle, nestled next to the Trent. King John, he of the Magna Carter fame, died here of dysentry in 12 something or other ( something I didn't know). It must have been really impressive in its day!

@yorkshirekiwi @josiegilbert @beryl @Dawn @koalagardens @louannwarren @rjb71 @casablanca you can’t tell particularly from this shot, but this castle is a ruin, this is the main wall still standing.

It is really beautiful. I'm sure it was really impressive in its day.

Impressive building, amazing how they built it given the location by the river
