Highlights

Things to do

Build a day around history, gardens, Severn views and gentle exploration.

Formal garden and historic red house

Visit Westbury Court Garden

A restored Dutch-style water garden close to Newnham, ideal for symmetry, canals, clipped hedges and quiet photography.

St Peter's Church in Newnham

See St Peter’s Church

The church is one of the village’s key landmarks and a useful anchor for understanding Newnham’s long religious history.

Village green and historic buildings

Stroll the village centre

Allow time for the High Street, green spaces, benches, old walls and the layered architecture of a Severn-side settlement.

Aerial view over Newnham

Nearby additions

With a car or local transport, combine Newnham with the Forest of Dean, Wye Valley viewpoints, Dean Heritage Centre, Clearwell Caves, Gloucester, or Slimbridge Wetland Centre.

For a short break, Newnham works well as a quieter overnight base rather than a single attraction to rush through.
