About Barnard Castle

Known for

The Bowes Museum (a French château housing an extraordinary art collection), the Castle ruins, the Raby Estate, and a Teesdale market town of remarkable cultural richness

A little history

Barnard Castle grew around the 12th century castle built by Bernard de Balliol. The Bowes Museum — a French château built in the 1870s by industrialist John Bowes specifically to house his art collection — is one of the most extraordinary cultural buildings in the North of England.

Local tip

The Bowes Museum is genuinely world-class — the Silver Swan automaton is legendary, but the whole collection is extraordinary. The Castle for Teesdale views. The market on Wednesdays.
