Newton Lane runs from the A656 at Allerton Bywater in the west almost to Fairburn in the east. It passes through Fairburn Ings, an RSPB nature reserve. Once a centre of coal mining, it is now a varied habitat for wildlife, including the rare bittern and spoonbill.

There is a cafe and toilets at the visitors centre about halfway along Newton Lane on the south side of the road,
