Welcome to Langley Park

Langley Park is a small village located in County Durham, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles west of Durham city centre and has a population of around 4,000 people. The village is known for its rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. Today, Langley Park is a thriving community with a range of amenities, including shops, pubs, and a community centre.

One of the most notable features of Langley Park is its stunning natural surroundings. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the rolling hills of the Durham Dales and the picturesque River Wear. This makes it an ideal location for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and fishing. The village also has several parks and green spaces, including the popular Langley Park Country Park, which offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Despite its rural location, Langley Park is well-connected to the rest of the region. The village is located just off the A691, which provides easy access to Durham city centre and the wider North East region. There are also regular bus services to nearby towns and cities, including Newcastle and Sunderland. This makes Langley Park an ideal location for those who want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of rural life, while still being within easy reach of urban amenities.
