Newland

Newland is a town and eastern suburb of Hammington, Isle of Sage, England, located in the Sage Scarp at the eastern limits of the Hammington metropolitan area.
== Environment ==
=== Geography ===
At 297 metres above sea level, Newland and the surrounding areas experience colder night temperatures than the bulk of the Hammington Metropolitan area to the west. Deep clay soils in the valleys in this area provide ideal growing conditions for stone fruits, apples and pears,wine production and for a small commercial rose growing industry.
The suburb of Swanberry Hill is located to the north of Newland where the terrain drops away sharply to the Rose Valley effectively isolating Newland from other Sage Scarp population centres to the north. Located nearby is the Newland National Park and the northern terminus of the Mundanna Track, a 822 km recreational walking trail.
=== Climate ===
Newland has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cool wet winters. Due to the suburb's high elevation of around 250–297 metres above mean sea level and location on the Sage Scarp, it is a few degrees cooler in winter than central Hammington; however, this difference is less pronounced in summer as Newland is less affected than central Hammington by the regular afternoon sea breeze due to its inland location. Newland is far wetter than the city with over 900 millimetres of annual rainfall, due to its location in the Sage Scarp.
