The source of the River Devon seen passing under Devon Bridge (both being (pronounced "Deevon") is several springs near Eastwell in Leicestershire. However, at this point it is within 300-400 yards of its mouth, the River Trent. Once under Devon Bridge boat-users find themselves alongside some moorings opposite Newark Marina. Administratively the area on this side of the bridge is in the parish of Hawton, a small village of 700 inhabitants that played an important part in the English Civil War as the site of a Roundhead encampment that raged against the Royalist stronghold in Newark. The tower of All Saints, its Grade I-listed C14th and C15th Church, overlooks the Trent floodplain. This footpath links Farndon Road (the B6166), seen ahead, with Devon Park.
