More Success for Newburgh Resident Denis Betts
Local resident, Denis Betts, is celebrating success with his Wigan Warriors Ladies Team.
Newburgh has been described as arguably the most attractive village in West Lancashire. Located about five miles from Ormskirk, the parish is bounded by the Leeds and Liverpool canal and the River Tawd and River Douglas. It is rich in open space and recreational areas and is set in countryside attractive for walkers. Newburgh is surrounded by Green Belt and at its heart is a conservation area with a village green – the site of an ancient fair – and a mixture of 17th, 18th and 19th century buildings. We have a strong sense of history and place, as well as being an active and busy community with much to appeal to all ages.
