About Langthorpe
Your one-stop location for all things that are Langthorpe
Langthorpe was on the Great North Road, and stagecoaches on the way to Edinburgh, Leeds and Newcastle would have passed through the village. Langthorpe is halfway between Edinburgh and London, and in the height of the season two thousand cattle a day were driven across the bridge on their way to markets in the south, stopping to be shod at the local blacksmiths.

The commercial importance of Langthorpe was later enhanced as first the canal arrived in 1770 and then the railway in 1848 with Boroughbridge station being built on the edge of Langthorpe in1875.
