Newtown Township
Newtown Township is a Township in Newtown Pennsylvania. It surrounds Newtown Borough.
The township is home to Tyler State Park. The Schofield Covered Bridge is in the park. There are trails throughout the park as well as plenty of picturesque scenes such as the covered bridge. You can rent kayaks and other craft in season for trips up the Neshaminy Creek.
There are some good restaurants such as the Wycombe Publik House which is a little off the beaten track but worth a visit. Also in Wycombe, you will find the Wycombe Train Station which was a stop on the New Hope Railroad line. The station is no longer operational.
