Location:

Langley-on-Tyne is a small hamlet in Northumberland, situated in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Langley, as it also known, is located approximately eight miles west of Hexham and three miles south of Haydon Bridge and the River South Tyne.  
The area is popular with tourists who enjoy its many attractions including Langley Castle, a Grade I listed medieval tower house, and National Trust Allen Banks & Staward Gorge, 194 acres of ancient woodland and Victorian gardens in a gorge of the River Allen.  The ruins of Staward Peel, a medieval peel tower, stand on a promontory above the gorge. Northumberland National Park, Hadrian’s Wall, The Lake District and the historic towns of Carlisle and Hexham are also easily accessible from Langley.
Langley lies on the A686 which connects Alston in the south to the A69 in the north.  The latter provides access to the national motorway network.  
The Property
The Carts Bog Inn is a detached, stone property over two storeys to the main, under a pitched slate roof.  The property dates back to 1775 and was originally built as a coaching inn.  The name ‘Carts Bog’ is believed to have come about as a consequence of the carts carrying minerals from Alston Moor’s lead and silver mines getting stuck in local bogs. The coaching inn was opened to offer the carters warmth and a hearty meal.
The property is beautifully appointed throughout and has stunning, panoramic country views.  It briefly comprises:

Business:

The Carts Bog Inn is a traditional country pub with a relaxed atmosphere in a stunning, rural location.  It is renowned throughout the region for its fine food which is locally sourced; its ‘Bog Pie’ and its Sunday roasts are firm favourites with locals and visitors alike.
The public house is popular with tourists visiting the area’s attractions and is well supported by the local community.  It hosts local farming events, festivals (including Bogfest) and also accommodates wedding receptions.  The business offers potential for increased sales through the introduction of glamping/camping and by offering the current owners’ accommodation as a holiday let (subject to the relevant planning permissions).  The business has its own website www.cartsbog.co.uk
