Location
Newland is a beautiful valley area shaped roughly like a a triangle, with the A590 running through the base, Mansriggs is at the top, Arrad Foot to the east, Ulverston to the west and Plumpton to the south. In the top of the triangle is a steep hanging valley known as Newland Bottom. Originally the land was used for farming but the fast flowing Newland Beck attracted business entrepreneurs to create various mills.
