    Iconic walks

    This tree-lined site welcomes caravans, motorhomes, tents, and trailer tents, and is situated on a level field just over a mile from the town. There is a modern facilities block, children’s play area, small shop, and motorhome service point. In addition to pleasant local walks, the site is conveniently close to iconic routes, such as the Pennine Way. This trail follows the River Tees and passes by impressive sights, including High Force and Cauldron Snout waterfalls.

     

    Castles and abbeys

    Barnard Castle is a charming place to spend an afternoon. From the imposing castle itself to the many quirky and quaint antique shops, there is a lot to entertain. The town is also home to Bowes Museum, a grand-looking building filled with art and relics from the past. Just outside the town are the ruins of Egglestone Abbey, which are particularly impressive at sunrise or sunset.

    Embrace the great outdoors and explore the history of northern England by booking your next holiday at Barnard Castle Club Site.
