Welcome to Water Newton

Water Newton is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Nene, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for visitors. The village is known for its historic church, St. Remigius, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in the country.

In addition to its historic church, Water Newton is also home to a number of other interesting landmarks and attractions. One of the most notable is the Water Newton Treasure, a collection of Roman silver and gold artifacts that were discovered in the village in the 1970s. The treasure is now on display at the British Museum in London, but visitors to Water Newton can still see a replica of the hoard at the village's local museum.

Water Newton is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with a number of walking and cycling trails in the surrounding countryside. The village is located on the Nene Way, a long-distance footpath that follows the River Nene from its source in Northamptonshire to its mouth at The Wash. The trail offers stunning views of the river and the surrounding countryside, and is a great way to explore the area's natural beauty.
