Plenty of shops, coffee bars, pubs .lots of history old buildings with interesting blue plaques.
Steep in parts so I think it’s better for people who like to walk.
Favourite pub was the Blue Bell very friendly and how a pub use to be.
Lots of antiques shops to browse around.
Nothing to avoid all good.

First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me in on the way to the castle. A woman there informed of the existence of some little known or advertised places of historical interest. The well known points of interest, the castle, the Bowes Museum, and the Butter Market—wryly referred to by local people as “the round thingy” in the middle of the high street—lived up to expectations. The charity thrift shops and the Witham, a cultural center cum shop on the High Street offered wonderful shopping. People working at the castle, the Bowes museum, and the food co-op were wonderfully helpful, The food and service at Blagraves in a remarkable building, parts of which date from the 15th century, were excellent.
The town is easy to get around. Almost everything to be seen and done is on three contiguous streets, Galgate, the High Street, and the road leading from the Butter Market, about a five-minute walk, to the Bowes Museum (I didn’t get its name). There’s a sign for the castle ruins hidden and sloping downhill behind the Methodist church at the corner of Galgate and High Street.
I was only disappointed to not be able to see the prayer labyrinth in the floor of St.Mary’s Anglican Church at the corner of High Street and the road to the museum. It was covered with chairs occupied by worshippers for a special service with performance by a huge childrens’ choir at the moment I looked in on a Friday afternoon and the seating was being kept in place for several services over that weekend of the third Sunday of Advent. It was a consolation to see such signs of spiritual life in that church, and, God willing, I’ll get to see the labyrinth at a quieter time.

Lovely small town with lots to see and do in surrounding area
Pubs are good and a great choice for eating from breakfast to evening meal
Hecklers cottage was lovely where we stayed but house keeping appalling good job plenty places to eat out
Such a shame !!
We would love to stay again
The Morritt Hotel staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The dinning room staff and chef were of an excellent standard and we all enjoyed our dinner. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the first floor rooms were bigger and better appointed than those on the second floor. The Morritt is located in a very attractive part of Yorkshire close to Richmond and walking distance to Barnard Castle. There are well marked Ramblers Association footpaths from Greta Bridge to Barnard Castle.
I enjoyed staying at Homelands while I was visiting Barnard Castle. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. My double en-suite room was exceptionally comfortable. The hosts were warm, welcoming and extremely helpful to get to know. Local, high quality ingredients were used in the excellent breakfast. Upon arrival, I was even greeted with homemade cake. All in all, my stay was excellent and I am looking forward to a return visit.
We were looking for a stay near High Force and Barnard Castle so this was perfect! A really reasonable rate with hearty breakfast included. We received simple instructions of how to access our room and were very pleasantly surprised at the lovely room we had. So comfy. We had a shared bathroom but didn’t see another person during our stay. The staff were lovely and the locals friendly and helpful in the bar.
This pub/ hotel is much than it looks from the outside. The rooms are very well done and the daily servicing and attention to detail was above and beyond expectations for a short stay. The staff are excellent. The food in the restaurant was really good. You couldn’t want for more what private parking and an excellent town centre location it was perfect for our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you.
Really great place to stay, gorgeous local area. The room I had in the courtyard was exceptional, cosy but enough space. Decent comfy bed, powerful shower and so quiet you cannot hear any other guests. The breakfast was delicious and I also had an evening meal there too which was superb. There were a few of us staying with our dogs and they made us feel very welcome. Would definitely book again!
We loved our stay here! the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable with the BEST shower! There was a generous welcome hamper which made our stay extra special. There is lots to do in the local area and the host was really friendly and welcoming.
