Find your next home in Barnard Castle

Barnard Castle lies at the heart of Teesdale in the south west of County Durham, in the North East of England. The town takes its name from the Norman stronghold built by Bernard Balliol between 1112 and 1132, around which the settlement grew. The castle ruins are a Grade I listed building and remain one of the most striking features of the town's skyline. The most significant private employer in the town is GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), who operate a large manufacturing facility on the edge of Barnard Castle employing around 1,000 people.

Teesdale is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to England's highest waterfall at High Force, open moorland, wooded valleys, and historic market towns. A third of the North East is similarly designated, and the natural environment is complemented by a rich history with castles, historic houses, and gardens to discover throughout the region.
