Newby Bridge is a hamlet situated on the banks of River Leven at the southern end of Lake Windermere. Historically part of Lancashire, it takes its name from the five-arched stone bridge built across the river in 1651. Within the hamlet, you find accommodation and food and drink. There is a stop on Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway here, too.

Formerly part of Lancashire, Newby Bridge is a quaint village nestled along the banks of the River Leven, situated at the southern end of Lake Windermere.

Its name is derived from the distinguished five-arched stone bridge, constructed across the river in the year 1651.

There's a curved weir just below Newby Bridge which controls the amount of water flowing into River Leven from Lake Windermere.
