The Castle ward sits at the heart of the market town of Newark, in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. It covers the riverside around the ruins of Newark Castle on the River Trent and much of the town centre, so Georgian and medieval streets, the market square and riverside parks are all within easy reach.
Historically the area is best known for the dramatic sieges of Newark during the English Civil War, a story picked up at the National Civil War Centre. Today the ward mixes tourism and local retail - with regular markets, independent cafés and shops - and functions as a commuter hub served by nearby stations such as Newark North Gate and Newark Castle, giving it a lively blend of heritage and everyday urban life.
