A617 #3 Rainworth - Newark

Third part covering full length of the A617 from Chesterfield begins where the Rainworth bypass ends at a small roundabout offering village access. Heading onward onto Kirklington Road is where the A617 regains its old single carriageway route to complete the journey into Newark. Its now mainly a 50mph procession after crossing the A614 , but still gives a refreshing ride meandering through open countryside. Allow larger vehicle full turning room when crossing the river Trent over an old and narrow Kelham bridge. Newark Rugby Club occupies grounds approaching the A46 roundabout that ends the A617. However, turning right onto the Great North Road soon presents grand sight over Newark Bridge of its ancient Castle.
