Newbiggin is a small hamlet in Cumbria, England. Cumrew beck flows north-west through Newbiggin eventually joining the Eden close to Armathwaite. The village contains many houses of a traditional design, a historic chapel (now a private home) and several large-acreage farms. On the fells around the village there are traces of the old mines that used to operate in the area, as well as the skeletons of lime kilns. A track from the village leads up to new water river, which can be followed north to Castle Carrock. There is a pub, The Blue Bell Inn.
