New Gate is a small, semi-rural settlement in the borough of South Ribble, Lancashire, England, made up mainly of a handful of cottages, farmsteads and lanes. It sits within the low-lying plains of the Ribble valley, with good access to the city of Preston and the wider Lancashire transport network, so while it feels quietly rural it is within easy reach of urban amenities.
Historically its character is agricultural, and surviving stone barns and older houses hint at that past, while economically and socially the community is linked to nearby industrial and market towns such as Leyland. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists - local footpaths and views towards the River Ribble give it a countryside appeal alongside its role as a small commuter and farming community.
