Richmond 3 miles; Barnard Castle 11 miles.
The attractive and peaceful Dales village of Gilling West, winner of the "Yorkshire in Bloom" award, is situated in lovely rolling countryside just a few miles to the north of the popular market town of Richmond. The village itself has a lovely old church, two real ale pubs both serving food and a village shop/post office. There are footpaths and bridleways in every direction and fishing is available nearby. Nearby Richmond grew up around its castle, famously situated high above the River Swale, with panoramic views of the river. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round. An ideal location for exploring all of Swaledale, Teesdale and the Yorkshire Dales.

Previous visitors' comments about The Hay Barn:
Very nice, private courtyard. Large area for children with swings etc. The White Swan serves excellent food.
Mr Jenkinson, Lancaster, September 2011
We were at The Hay Barn with all our family and young grandchildren and the grounds outside were excellent for the small children. There were nice walks around the grounds. The owners were also very helpful and the flowers on arrival was a very nice touch.
Mrs Wilkie, Forfar, September 2011
Fantastic space. Photos were amazing and the property was even better in reality. Good value for size of house.
