Newton, Clifton with Salwick Village

Clifton means 'a settlement near a cliff or bank' from the Old English words 'clif' and 'tun' meaning cliff and town. Clifton and Salwick are two villages off the main A583 near to Newton with Scales and were formed from the old Clifton Estate. Salwick consists only of a few houses and a railway station used by commuters to the BNFL plant. The Windmill public house is a converted windmill set in the countryside away from the main road.
