Newbury rewards residents with river-valley scenery, pragmatic amenities, and a strong sense of community. Set along the Connecticut River in Orange County, its villages of Newbury and Wells River offer everyday conveniences, white-steepled greens, and a full calendar of local traditions. Maple steam rises in March, farmstands overflow by June, and October paints the hills with color. Quick connections to Bradford and across-river Haverhill expand dining, shopping, and services, while the town keeps residents informed and engaged through the Town of Newbury.
Families appreciate that Newbury is served by the Oxbow Unified Union School District (Vermont Agency of Education), including Newbury Elementary (PreK–6) and Oxbow High School (grades 7–12) in nearby Bradford. Learning continues beyond the classroom at the Tenney Memorial Library, which hosts story times, maker activities, and community events.
Outdoor time is a way of life here. Halls Lake invites quiet paddles and evening swims, and trail networks in the nearby White River Junction–Upper Valley region put skiing and cycling within easy reach. West of town, the trails and ponds of Vermont State Parks – Groton State Forest pair family-friendly hikes with big-sky views, and the Cross Vermont Trail links village streets to miles of multiuse pathways. Regional access is straightforward, with Amtrak’s Vermonter stopping just down the line, and quality care close by at Cottage Hospital across the river.
