Lying approximately two miles northeast of Edinburgh, and nestled between Trinity and Leith, is the desirable district of Newhaven. Situated on the Firth of Forth, this historic district was once a thriving fishing village and harbour and is now earmarked as one of the city’s conservation areas.

Newhaven has developed greatly in recent years and offers residents an excellent range of local amenities, including a 24-hour ASDA and Ocean Terminal. Neighbouring Leith also offers a wide range of shops, bars, and restaurants. For sports and fitness enthusiasts, Newhaven certainly delivers, with extensive facilities at the David Lloyd Gym and Club and a fantastic indoor climbing centre at Alien Rock. For a more relaxing option, Newhaven’s waterfront forms part of the Edinburgh promenade, which extends along Granton towards Cramond Beach.

Schooling options with Newhaven’s catchment area include Victoria Primary School and the Trinity Academy. The area is well served by public transport including the recently opened Tram line taking you from the Terminus at Newhaven directly to Edinburgh International Airport via the City Centre.
