Newlands is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shotley Low Quarter, in the county of Northumberland, England. It is north of Ebchester and south of Whittonstall on the B6309, which follows the route of the ancient Roman road of Watling Street. It is situated north of the River Derwent (forming a border between County Durham and Northumberland). The nearest large settlement is Consett to the south west. In 1951 the parish had a population of 71. The hamlet consists mainly of a group of closely located farmhouses on a road called Fine Lane, west of and coming off the B6309. The derelict Marley Tiles factory sits on the B6309 itself, currently subject to a planing application for 109 homes.A second batch of houses and rental shalets known as Newlands Lodges sit at the point where the B6309 crosses the River Derwent and climbs Chare Bank into Ebchester where it meets and crosses the A694. Veering south west off Fine Lane and past local landmark, the Swinging Cat microbar, is a footpath running parallel to then crossing a stream known as Small Burn. Two waterfalls can be found on this stream. The first is hidden in the trees at the top of a gorge on the edge of Newlands (note this can be dangerous to access when the stream is in flood). The second can be found a further 150 m further on where the footpath crosses Small Burn over a stone bridge. The path crosses a further stream called Mere Burn with another small waterfall, before turning south then running south west adjacent to the River Derwent towards Shotley Bridge. For this reason, the path is known locally as The Way of the Waterfalls. Both streams join the River Derwent.
