Queens Sconce — Attraction in Newark and Sherwood

There’s so much to Sconce Park. Aside from being in the envious location of only 10 minutes walk from Newark town centre - it’s around the corner from Hawtonville, on the doorstep of the allotments and a short walk from Newark Hospital. I love Sconnys for dog walking, the River Devon and Rumbles Cafe which is a social enterprise giving people with learning disabilities responsible jobs and opportunities. The playground right next to the cafe is adventurous and there’s now also an adult fitness area. The Queen’s Sconce is also a crucial destination for people on the Civil War trail and a nationally significant battle ground. The Kings Sconce at the other end of town is now buried under a new housing estate. Enjoy the park and keep it for...
