Barnard Castle is a historic thriving
market town, which developed in the protective shadow of Bernard
Balliol's castle. Barnard Castle on the Durham side of the River
Tees is the "capital" of Teesdale and is one of the
most attractive and most historic towns in the North. It is known
affectionately to locals as `Barney'. Built on a fine defensive
site in 1125, the castle is in the care of English Heritage and
is open to the public. In the town centre, the octagonal Market
cross, or Butter Market, served a number of purposes, dairy produce
was sold here and it was also the town's lock up, Town Hall and
Court House. Horsemarket, Galgate, Bridgegate, Newgate and Thorngate
are the main streets of Barnard Castle and are lined by beautiful
stone built houses, which give Barnard Castle its typical `Dales
town' appearance. Also see Barnard
