Lowdham, Notts.
This bridge on Church Lane carries traffic across Cocker Beck, passes the entrance gates to the parish church of St Mary the Virgin and then continues uphill for a further 200 metres until it reaches (the newer) graveyard extension situated at the conclusion of this cul-de-sac. This tributary arises in the Lambley Dumbles, passes through Lowdham and joins the River Trent at Gunthorpe.

Lowdham, Notts.
Church Lane carries traffic across Cocker Beck (behind the photographer), passes the entrance gates to the parish church of St Mary the Virgin and then continues uphill for a further 200 metres until it reaches the local cemetery - an extension of the church's graveyard - that is situated at the conclusion of this cul-de-sac.

Castle mound, Lowdham
Difficult to distinguish in a photograph, but the ground does rise from a moat to a plateau. Marked on the 1:25000 map, but apparently not listed as an ancient monument.

Footpath alongside the Cocker Beck
At this point the path curves between the stream and the outer earthwork of the old castle, which appears to have been a simple motte and bailey.

Medieval castle motte and moat, Lowdham
The motte was excavated in the late 1930s indicating the presence of a stone keep, possibly 14th century. The re-creation of a watered moat appears to be modern. The site is not scheduled.

Footpath to the church
Lowdham Church is on the outskirts of the village, doubtless due to the location of the castle. This path is the most direct pedestrian access from the northern part of the village, which would account for it being so well engineered.
