Langar in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England is a small, picturesque village set on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir. It has an attractive mix of stone and brick cottages, a parish church with medieval origins and a lively village community; administratively it is often grouped with neighbouring Barnstone as the civil parish of Langar cum Barnstone.
Local highlights include Langar Hall, an elegant country house now operating as a hotel and restaurant, and the site of the former RAF Langar airfield, built during the Second World War and since adapted for light industry and occasional aviation uses. The village remains largely rural and agricultural while being within easy reach of larger centres such as Nottingham and Grantham, and close to attractions like Belvoir Castle, which helps keep it both a quiet residential community and a draw for visitors.
