Southwell is a peaceful and charming Minster town with attractive restaurants, shops, coaching inns and period houses. The famous 12th century Minster is the most rural Cathedral in England. The Chapter House contains some of the finest stone carving in existence including the world renowned "Leaves of Southwell". There are several other attractions including The Workhouse owned by the National Trust situated on the outskirts of the town and the Saracens Head Inn where King Charles I is reputed to have spent his last night of freedom. A number of Heritage Trails around the town have links to the Civil War and other local historical connections. Southwell is also home to the famous Bramley Apple and nearby is the all weather racecourse and a number of golf courses. Also worth mentioning is our proximity to the Newark and Swinderby antique fairs which are held six times a year and attract dealers and collectors from far and wide. A little further afield are many places of interest. Newstead Abbey, once the home of Lord Byron; historic Newark upon Trent; Belvoir Castle and the Vale of Belvoir with the Grantham Canal providing cycling or walking pursuits along the towpath; the historic city of Lincoln with its old cobbled streets and wonderful Cathedral; the cultural and vibrant city of Nottingham with the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont and last but not least, Robin Hood country!
