Newbiggin is a small village in Cumbria, North-western England. It is in the Dacre civil parish about three miles (5 km) west of Penrith. It lies at 750 ft (210m) sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly wind by Flusco Pike, 150 ft (46m) higher. It is described as a “non-nucleated village,” lying for a mile along either side of the C1306 between the A66 and the B5288. There are at least six other villages in Cumbria with the same name, which is derived from the Old English ‘new biggin’, or new house.
