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.
