Newark, by the River Trent, has kept history's hallmarks well in view. Everywhere you move there's 17th century buildings, and nearby Sherwood Forest is heaving with folklore and legend. Lift the lid on the town's secrets with a tour of Newark Castle, then Cromwell's House and Marston Moor. What connects them all is the topsy turvy fortunes of the Civil War. Fans of the Roundheads or the Royalists are all welcome at these Newark campsites.
