Newby is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, set among rolling farmland and upland pastures on the fringes of the Lake District National Park and within the broad sweep of the Eden Valley. It sits a short drive from market towns such as Penrith and Appleby-in-Westmorland, which provide local services while leaving the parish largely quiet and agricultural.
The name Newby comes from Old Norse meaning "new farm" or settlement, and that agricultural heritage remains visible in stone-built farmhouses, drystone walls and working farms; the local economy still leans on agriculture with a modest contribution from rural tourism and outdoor recreation. Social life is characteristic of small Cumbrian parishes, centred on village gatherings, seasonal events and the scattered community institutions that sustain a close-knit rural population.
