Newton Ferrers

Newton Ferrers is a gentle village tucked on a creek of the River Yealm estuary in the South Hams district of Devon, England. Once a manor and a civil and ecclesiastical parish in its own right, it now forms part of the parish of Newton and Noss. About six miles (10 km) south‑east of the city of Plymouth, the village enjoys a setting within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a population of 1,268 in the village itself and 1,814 in the wider electoral ward of Newton and Noss at the 2011 census, Newton Ferrers combines a sense of intimate community with sweeping coastal countryside nearby. Visitors will find a place whose history and geography are tightly bound to the Yealm estuary, offering quiet waterside moments and easy access to the broader charms of South Devon. It’s a reminder that some of England’s most inviting corners lie in small, well‑placed settlements where landscape and local life meet.
