Barnard Castle is a market town resting in County Durham in the Teesdale countryside, standing on the site of an ancient Roman fort. Boasting cobbled streets, back lanes and quaint yards, the town still echoes its 12th century beginnings, and is home to a great selection of shops, cafés and pubs. Visit the medieval ruins of the castle which continue to tower over the river and enjoy lots of good walking country all around.
