One of the great privileges of living at Marina Quays is the freedom to enjoy both the tranquillity of the river and the convenience of superb connections. Newark-on-Trent sits at the heart of Nottinghamshire, perfectly placed for days out in the countryside, visits to historic towns and cities, and even effortless journeys to London. For residents, it means life at Marina Quays combines the calm of home with the excitement of discovery, all within easy reach.
Countryside Escapes
Nottinghamshire’s countryside is shaped by woodlands, rolling fields, and historic villages. Just a short drive from Newark lies Sherwood Forest, world-famous as the legendary home of Robin Hood, offering walking trails beneath ancient oaks. Closer still, Southwell Minster provides a stunning cathedral-style church set within a charming market town, perfect for a leisurely day exploring. For those who enjoy walking or cycling, the River Trent itself offers a wealth of towpaths and trails stretching into the wider landscape.
The Cathedral City of Lincoln

From Newark Northgate station, London King’s Cross is just 80 minutes by train, making day trips to the capital effortlessly achievable. With the A1 and A46 nearby, journeys north and south are equally straightforward, whether for family visits, cultural excursions, or weekends away.
