Day 14 - Sherwood and Newark

Well a busy day again - no rest for the wicked. However a leisurely start to the day. We then went into the local village/town - some amazing scenerey inlcuing their castle on the banks of the Trent.

We also went into the market place which had an amazing square with a huge range of buildings around it.

We had morning tea in Newark then drove to Robin Hood Airport out of Doncaster where we collected Jeanette who had flown in from Ireland.
From there we travelled to a small village where we had lunch. We then travelled to Sherwood Forest and saw a huge old oak which they estimate is about 1100 years old - which is amazing when you consider that it could have been there when Robin Hood was wondering through the forest.

We also visited a neighbouring lake.

From there Eleanor took a creative route home through smaller rural roads and after visiting another large catehdarl /Minister we visited a small pub on the side of the river Trent. After a drink we travelled to a pub called "Full Moon" and had tea (duck for the ladies and haddock for me!).

Now back home and writing up the blog!
