Dist:0.3km north<br/>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.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The exit from the village towards the Church and then Lambley. Note the new houses at the left which incorporate some vernacular style of brickwork.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>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.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>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.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This range of buildings has been converted into 3 or 4 specialist retail outlets. The nearest one deals in soft furnishings.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>A modern hall adjacent to the recreation ground.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Narrow descent from Lowdham Cemetery

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The postbox is of E II R vintage, and this goes for the building too.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>A local bus heads south along Main Street on a journey to Southwell. The building with the clock is the Old School House.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The school was moved to a modern building some time ago and the old premises converted to dwellings. Nice to see a working external clock on a private building.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Autumnal carpet of leaves and attractive gates to the church of St.Mary the Virgin at Lowdham

Dist:0.4km north<br/>'A healthy mind in a healthy body' - the latin tag is appropriate to a combined Health Centre and Library.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The cottage takes its name from the stream through the village, although it is not particularly close. The large space above the upper storey windows is not uncommon in the district, and presumably was done to give more headroom in the attic.
