This morning we discover the charming town of Barnard Castle. This historic market town takes its name from the castle around which it grew. Home to many antique shops, independent stores and delightful cafés, there’s plenty to see and do here. We then return to the hotel this afternoon for free time.

Too many pickups on the way up to Darlington resulting in a trip of 9hrs! No issues with hotel. Days out could have been shorter.
