Newlands Pass is a three-mile-long road running along a ledge above the Newlands valley, from the village of Braithwaite, near Keswick, to Buttermere. The highest point is Newlands Hause, 333 metres (1093 feet), where there is a car park, and a short walk to the Moss Beck waterfalls.
Newlands valley is thinly populated, consisting mainly of farms and tourist accommodation. Stair is the main settlement in the valley, and includes the Newlands Adventure Centre and the Swinside Inn, which is the only pub in the valley and is situated one kilometre to the north of Stair.
