Living here, visiting for the day, or curious about our history - everything about Newton-in-Bowland and its corner of the Ribble Valley.
Newton-in-Bowland sits in the heart of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the banks of the River Hodder. It's a small, friendly rural village where community still means something - from the Village Hall at its centre to the walks, wildlife and landscapes right on the doorstep.
There's a village car park, bus connections to the wider Ribble Valley, and a genuine sense of community. Whether you've lived here for years or are thinking of moving to the area, you'll find a warm Lancashire welcome.
The Forest of Bowland is one of the finest walking and cycling areas in the North of England, and Newton makes a lovely base for a day out or a longer stay. Riverside strolls, moorland hikes, dark skies and wildlife are all close by.
2026 marks 80 years of a village hall on the current site - eight decades of dances, meetings, celebrations and community life. Newton itself has a long and rich history in this quiet corner of Lancashire.
We're gathering photographs, stories and memories to tell that history properly. If you have something to share, we'd love to hear from you - please get in touch.
