Cat sitting in Newton Solney
Newton Solney is a short ride or a brisk walk from Repton — about 0.4 miles door to door. I do Newton Solney runs most days.
Newton Solney sits on the south bank of the Trent, with a mix of stone cottages around the village centre and newer estates off Newton Park and Main Street. It's a quiet place, which is exactly what cats tend to like.
The Trent and the fields between Repton and the village mean the route is mostly off-road. On a fine evening I cycle; in winter or heavy rain I'll walk along the lane, which only adds a few minutes.
Around Newton Solney
The Blue Bell Inn
Hard to miss in the centre of the village. If you're giving me directions, 'near the Blue Bell' is usually enough.
Newton Solney Church & Trent
St Mary's and the riverside footpath are useful landmarks. The bridge over the Trent is a popular dog-walking loop and a peaceful spot to be heading out from.
Getting there
Reachable on foot along Repton Road / Main Street, or a quick cycle down to the village. If your cat needs a visit at a specific time, I'll plan the rest of the day around it.
Ideal for
- Homes on Main Street, Burton Road, Newton Park, and the smaller lanes off them
- Cats used to a calm, quiet household
- Bookings that pair with a Repton visit for a discount on a longer round
