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:
