Newburgh is a small village and civil parish in West Lancashire, Lancashire, England, set on the flat agricultural plains of the Ribble and Douglas lowlands. The surrounding landscape is largely farmland and relict mossland, with pockets of woodland and nature reserves nearby such as Martin Mere, while larger towns like Ormskirk, Southport and Preston are within easy commuting distance.
Historically rooted in farming and market gardening, the village retains a sense of traditional rural life with a conservation area of older cottages and a parish church, alongside modern commuter households. Local social life centres on the village hall, pubs and seasonal events, and the name itself - literally a "new burgh" - hints at medieval origins even as the community now balances heritage, conservation and a modest local economy.
