 Self
catering accommodation in Barnard Castle. 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.
