Little Newark
Children's amusement center
👍👍 Fantastic, I'd say suitable from around 6 months up. My 12 month old was in her element, and I'd say she'd be happily occupied there up until at least 4 or 5

Swa...

You will see sculptured otters and there is the long stone bridge once leading to a water mill. While standing on the bridge you will see the weir. Your walk can also take in the Trent...
