National Trust Canopy - Allenbanks

Langley Furniture Works is fortunate enough to be situated within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Not far from the workshop is Allen Banks, a gorge and ancient woodland managed for the public by The National Trust. We were approached by the National Trust team to take part in a project that would develop the gateway to the main footpath through the woodland.

The team wanted to create a canopy that would become a natural entrance point to the area and house information about the walks. The canopy was installed in summer 2012 and has slowly changed colour as the oak weathered to a silvery finish with the changing seasons.
