STAINDROP NEAR BARNARD CASTLE Barnard Castle 5 miles; Durham 20 miles. The pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop has always been closely associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle and its owners. The Castle (open to the public) is one of the most grand in England. Enlarged and beautified over the centuries, the medieval heart remains and a walled garden and 200 acre deer park add to the splendour. Staindrop has many interesting shops, pubs and cafes set round its long village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is 5 miles away, with its castle, the Bowes Museum, plus of course its wide range of shops and tea-rooms. Walkers will enjoy the many walks around Teesdale. STRATHMORE BARNS Staindrop 1.5 miles.

Dec 2005 | The cottage was superb. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. The owners were very friendly and had left a very good selection of leaflets, brochures etc. of things to do in the area. Perfect if you want a relaxing holiday, or if you want to explore there are many places around, especially Barnard Castle. We all had a lovely holiday and found the cottage to be of a very high standard.
