Great area to go for a and then there's the Biondi bar to go enjoy, they have a small menu but the lasagna is fantastic, looking forward to trying a few more dishes. Very handy if you have dogs as there is a decent courtyard to go to around the back and they are very dog friendly. Highly recommended. Decent on a sunny day, small cafe at Gunthorpe is well worth a visit. Great area, the first thing to mention is parking, the Canal & Trust car park could do with clearer signage on the 2 blue badge bays, as while making it clear that they are provided by the C&R trust, it is not clear if payment is required for blue badge parking, even the interactive chat on their website don't know the answer. On to the area, great views of the and lock, we walked towards Newark (downstream) for about 30mins passing a number of fisherman and see loads of birds etc, lovely quiet with just the sound of the wind in the tree, and the water in the river, got to say hello to loads of dogs (we did note that everyone with a dog had them on leads, and we're clearing up after their dogs), the surface under foot is uneven as you would expect from a country walk, dodging animal dropping such as cattle, rabbit and the occasional horse. Well worth another visit. There are a few place to get refreshment at the lock, but on this visit we did not stop in any so will review when I do. Really lovely down the and pathways that go on for miles. Lots of nature - we managed to catch a glimpse of several rare birds and other dwelling creatures. Great place to visit. Car park opposite Tom Brown's Brasserie. Nice down to the and beyond. Good Views for a along the Trent. Really nice place to go for a walk. Good footpath but the river, plus benches and some interesting signage explaining the history. Fun to watch the barges go through the lock. Bonus of an ice cream van when we went. There are 2 large car parks and a couple of pubs for food and drink all in short walking distance. Lovely afternoon stroll with the dog. Drive to the end of the road along the for the parking. Well behaved dogs are acceptable off lead . Several places for drinks and eats. Lots of parking, great Italian restaurant under new management with livestock and ramblers roaming the banks of the turbulent Trent. Marvellous on Mothers Day in Spring. Top spot th blow away the winter blues Nice walk, you can paddle a little way down, nice cafe and restaurant by the and an ice cream van. Unicorn pub at the first car park has a play area on the back. Tom browns is an excellent place to eat but pre-booking is a must especially at a weekend. Lovely easy with dogs or children, you can also fish down here. Love it here, longstanding favourite family place to go for a by the river, watch the boats go through the & have a picnic. The cafe that used to be there was nice enough, had refreshments there in the past but its gone a bit upmarket now, A Bistro bar & clearly the high prices reflect that so we didn't go in & obviously can't comment apart from it looked nice & was very busy. Fortunately the ice cream van is still there & a row of pubs & restaurants near the main car park to choose from. Beautiful place Amazing outdoor place for a long with free parking. Neat and clean park for picnic. Lovely staff. Very clean and lovely food. Not too crowded either so not too long to wait for order. It's a very nice place to look for boats! To drink a coffee or for picnic! Lock-Keeper Simon is very friendly and we have a special Talk. I will come back :) Greetings from Robert Germany Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
