These two dog-walkers are about to leave Sconce and Devon Park. The red car is passing The Spring House pub on Farndon Road (i.e. the B6166) and travelling in the direction of Farndon. Sconce and Devon Park, which includes the Devon Pastures Local Nature Reserve (LNR), is a large continuous area of public open space on the south-western edge of Newark. It also contains the Queen’s Sconce, an extensive Civil War-related, earthen defence structure built by Royalist defenders of Newark (1644-45). It was named after Henrietta, Charles I's wife.
