#42 Newark Park

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Gloucestershire's Cotswold countryside, Newark Park stands as a testament to centuries of history and architectural evolution. Its origins trace back to the 16th century, when it emerged as a Tudor hunting lodge, built by the influential courtier Sir Nicholas Poyntz. The imposing structure, constructed from repurposed stones from a nearby dissolved abbey, offered a strategic vantage point for overseeing hunts across the expansive estate. Whether you’re capturing the intricate details of the architecture or the sweeping views from its windows, Newark House is sure to inspire your creativity. Finally, Newark Park is home to a thriving wildlife population. You may spot deer, foxes, and badgers roaming the grounds, and the park’s ponds are a haven for ducks, swans, and other waterfowl. These creatures provide opportunities for both wildlife photography and macro photography.
