Barnard Castle

Choose Barnard Castle as the destination for your next cottage holiday and enjoy a stay in this fine historical riverside town, conveniently close to some of Northern England’s best natural beauty; with the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yorkshire Dales National Park easily accessible close by.

When on holiday, don’t miss Barnard Castle’s fascinating castle ruins where you can enjoy wonderful river views and get a sense of this town’s rich history.

Bowes Museum which looks more like a French Chateau than a museum, is worth a visit for its wonderful exterior alone, as well as for the interesting collections that lie within.

For keen walkers and lovers of the great outdoors, the North Pennines AONB which is also a Global Geopark and a UNESCO site with its beautiful moorlands, peatlands, dales and rich wildlife is a fantastic area to discover.

More wonderful days out in the Yorkshire Dales National Park await where visitors can discover charming market towns and villages with stone-built cottages, tea shops and gift shops, awe-inspiring landscapes for walking or cycling, along with National Trust protected areas.

All in all, Barnard Castle has plenty to recommend it and could be a great place for a  self-catering holiday with friends or family. Whether you opt to stay in a holiday townhouse, a countryside cottage close to the town or a holiday lodge in a nearby holiday park, we trust that you’ll have a great time on a break in or close to historical Barnard Castle.
