Local Information

The Boat House, Slaggyford is located in the North Pennines, right on the Pennine Way in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by the rolling countryside.

The local pub Kirkstyle Inn which opens in January 2023 has been fully refurbished and offers meals and refreshments. Only a 5 minute drive or a 15/20min walk along the road. A torch and HiVis jacket is reccomended as there is no footpath although there is a grass verge.

Alston is approximately 5 miles from Slaggyford and is the highest market town in the UK, boasting many small independent businesses, eateries and shops. The South Tyndale Railway and the Pennine Way run through Slaggyford and the section for Slaggyford to Alston has been restored back into a railway line where you can catch the steam train to take in the amazing views. In the opposite direction the trail runs all the way to Haltwhistle via Lambley Viaduct and by the real ale pub the Wallace Arms at Featherstone. 

The River Tyne which flows through Slaggyford is very well known for its trout and salmon fishing, so if you are coming to the area and wish to fish, contact Alston Angling for passes.
