Newbiggin, Teesdale

Newbiggin is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England. At the 2011 census the parish had a population of 146. It is situated on the north side of Teesdale, opposite Holwick. An influx of Derbyshire lead miners into the area in the late 18th century may have brought the name from Biggin. The village is within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The village of Newbiggin is up the River Tees from the incredible High Force, one of England's most impressive waterfalls. The hamlet of Bowlees is close by.

Mordon was formerly a township in the parish of Middleton-in-Teesdale, in 1866 Newbiggin became a separate civil parish.

A Methodist chapel was built in the village in 1760. It is now a holiday let known as Newbiggin Chapel. For many years it was said to be one of the oldest Methodist chapel in continuous use. It is a Grade II listed building.
