Barnard Castle

Take a wander into the town centre from your holiday cottage in Barnard Castle and you will find narrow streets packed with independent businesses. There is a variety of shops selling antiques, jewellery, vintage clothes, books and lots more. The town is also a paradise for food-lovers with family-run butchers, green grocers and a farmers’ market at the Cobbles in the marketplace.
