Newlands, Northumberland

It is north of Ebchester and south of Whittonstall on the B6309, which follows the route of the ancient Roman road of Watling Street.

[1] The hamlet consists mainly of a group of closely located farmhouses on a road called Fine Lane, west of and coming off the B6309.

Veering south west off Fine Lane and past Sisterson Farm, is a footpath running parallel to then crossing a stream known as Small Burn.

The first is hidden in the trees at the top of a gorge on the edge of Newlands (note this can be dangerous to access when the stream is in flood).

[7] The originals of the hamlet possibly date back to the granting of 314 acres of land in 1200 by Hugh de Baliol in about 1200 "to be assarted (cleared of trees), cultivated, built upon and enclosed" on the Ebchester road.
