Newton consists of a village hall, post office, public house and a general store.

Wirral Council also has several allotments in Newton that are provided for residents to grow their own vegetables and plants.

The name of the village means "new settlement or farmstead" from the Old English words nīwe and tūn.

[3] Newton was previously combined with the nearby hamlet of Larton as Newton cum Larton, part of West Kirby parish of the Wirral Hundred, in the county of Cheshire.

This station is on the Wirral line of the Merseyrail network, with frequent services to Liverpool.
