Cold Newton is a very small, rural parish in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, in the English Midlands. It has no large centre of population and is made up largely of farmland, scattered houses and a few farmsteads, lying within easy reach of the market town of Market Harborough.
The parish is perhaps best known for surviving earthworks and ridge-and-furrow patterns that point to a medieval settlement once having existed there, giving it an evocative, quiet historic character. Economically and socially it remains agricultural and close‑knit, with community life tied to neighbouring villages and the wider district rather than to shops or services within the parish itself.
