Map of the UK

Newburgh is a small rural village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, set amid the rolling countryside of the Howardian Hills. The area is marked by parkland, farmland and hedged lanes and is best known for the historic Newburgh Priory, a former Augustinian house turned country estate whose architecture and grounds lend the parish a strong sense of history and a peaceful, pastoral character.

Locally the economy is largely agricultural with parts of the estate and surrounding countryside used for forestry, farming and occasional visitor accommodation; there are few services within the parish itself, so community life often revolves around neighbouring villages and market towns. Footpaths and quiet lanes make it popular with walkers and cyclists, and the priory and its setting contribute to a modest but steady flow of interest from people exploring the Howardian Hills.
