The Town of West Newbury is a delightful community characterized by rolling hills, broad valleys, and an unspoiled rural charm. The Merrimack River, which flows along the northern border, provides scenic beauty and recreational boating.
During the holiday season, families travel to West Newbury to choose and cut Christmas trees from one of the town's many Christmas tree farms. The Mill Pond area, encompassing over 200 acres, provides passive recreational activities including cross-country skiing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, as well as a winter carnival, fall hayrides, and other family oriented activities.
