Newby Bridge

The bridge here crosses the River Leven, which runs from the southern tip of Windermere to Morecambe Bay. According to geologists, the mass of end moraines seen here show clearly that the village lay at the southernmost point of Windermere since they were deposited by the glacier while it paused having carved out the lake. Today, however, the village is some distance from the water's edge, which can be reached on foot, by car, or by taking the steam train on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. As the village lies at the junction of two major south Cumbrian roads, it is also a popular tourist destination.

One mile north of the village, Fell Foot Country Park (National Trust) is a delightful 18-acre site of landscaped gardens and woodland laid out in late-Victorian times. Rowing boats can be hired at the piers from where there are regular ferries across to Lakeside, and pleasure cruises operate during the summer school holidays.
