Know before you go

Your guide to Newby Bridge

Newby Bridge sits near the southern end of Windermere, close to lakeside parks, family attractions, heritage rail journeys and the River Leven.

The settlement is a useful meeting point between the lake, Furness and Morecambe Bay. Nearby Fell Foot provides public access to the water, while Lakeside attractions and the river corridor offer family-friendly alternatives to the busier northern end of Windermere.

Newby Bridge is well placed for boat trips, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, the aquarium, Lakeland Motor Museum and day trips to Cartmel or Ulverston. It works best as a touring base rather than a walkable town centre.
