Barnard Castle Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 135 photos
Barnard Castle is a nice town and more people would probably know this if it was easier to get to by public transport. It is named after its once huge castle, today in ruins but still kept enough for you to see the size it once had and realise its importance. The scenery around the town is great as it is where the Yorkshire Dales has just given way to the more unknown dales of County Durham.
- Pros:Few tourists compared to the Yorkshire Dales, scenic
- Cons:Hard to get to
- In a nutshell:Overlooked place for a daytrip
