Newtown, Isle of Wight
Newtown is a small village in the civil parish of Calbourne, Newtown and Porchfield, on the Isle of Wight, England. In medieval times it was a thriving borough.
Newtown is located 5 miles (8 km) west of the town of Newport on the large natural harbour on the island's north-western coast. It is now mostly a national nature reserve owned and managed by the National Trust.
The Caul Bourne streams through Calbourne, passes Newbridge and Shalfleet and empties into the Solent at Newtown.
The name means 'the new town or borough', from Old English nīwe and tūn. It was originally called Francheville 'the free town' until the 16th century.
