Most guests explore Barnard Castle on foot, as everything in town is easily walkable. For day trips, we recommend driving to nearby beauty spots such as High Force waterfall, Middleton-in-Teesdale, or Raby Castle.
While there is some public transport, it is limited—so having a car is recommended if you plan to explore deeper into the Durham Dales or surrounding Yorkshire countryside.
