It is situated close to the A693 road between Annfield Plain and Stanley, and is slightly larger than nearby East Kyo to the north east and West Kyo, 15 minutes walk via public footpath to the north at the other side of the C2C cycle path.
Annfield Intermediate School was situated to the east end of New Kyo until the late 1990s, this being Greencroft Comprehensive Lower School from 1965 onwards (the first and second years were accommodated here before being transferred to Greencroft Comprehensive Upper School for the third year onwards to school leaving age) up to the late 1990s.
The current main landmark is the Monkey working men's club, hidden behind the fish and chip shop, at the far western end of New Kyo.
It continues to exist despite a number of attempts to fill it in.
