Barnard Castle is a historic, thriving market town, which developed in the protective shadow of Bernard Balliol's castle. Built on a fine defensive site in 1125, the castle is in the care of English Heritage and is open to the public. Visit the Josephine and John Bowes Museum - built in the style of a French chateau, it houses one of the country's finest art collections.
