How long does it actually take to walk from Newark Northgate to Castle?

[CallySleeper]

Answers from personal experience/google appreciated. Reasonably quick walking pace. Thanks!

AA Mapping shows a distance of 0.9 miles so I would say if walking briskly should take no more than fifteen minutes.

I seem to recall it took me about 12-15 minutes when I tried it last summer (Castle-Northgate)

I agree - I've done it in 13min. There is now an alternative route along the north bank of the Trent and across a new footbridge, which is a bit longer but less traffic.

I agree with about 15 mins

It does indeed take about 15 minutes to walk it, though i believe the suggested walking time is more like 20 minutes. I suppose it also depends if you get waylaid en-route in any of the pubs.

Alternatively you could catch one of the inconvenient trains between the two stations - depending on the time of day and direction of travel.

Doesn't it depend who is behind you.

Which trains?

Which trains?

Mon-Sat it's only the 0526 Lincoln-Nottingham and 2226 (2126 SO) Nottingham-Lincoln; however on Sundays this doubles to two a day.

Well I've learnt some new! (Here's the itinerary). I presume it has to reverse back up to the flat crossing? No wonder it takes nearly as long as walking!
