This charming market town is known for its character, culture, and strong sense of community—the perfect mix of town energy and countryside calm.

For foodies and lovers of local produce, Artisan Corner is a must-visit for unique gifts, crafts, and treats, while Rise Artisan Market Deli serves up freshly made delights, perfect for a leisurely brunch or a picnic by the river.

Most guests explore Barnard Castle on foot, as everything in town is easily walkable. For day trips, we recommend driving to nearby beauty spots such as High Force waterfall, Middleton-in-Teesdale, or Raby Castle.
While there is some public transport, it’s limited—so having a car is recommended if you plan to explore deeper into the Durham Dales or surrounding Yorkshire countryside.
