There is plenty to do and see with lots of country walks available suitable for a variety of capabilities from keen ramblers to dog walkers or just those out for an afternoon stroll. Alternatively if you are looking for a quieter pace for your stay you can always relax in the garden and soak up the scenery keeping an eye out for all the native wildlife and birds, if you wish to get a little closer Hury reservoir boasts some of the best trout fishing as well as supporting a diverse array of waterfowl and with it being just a short stroll to the shores it makes for a unique experience during your stay.

The flora and fauna of Hannah hauxwells Meadow is well worth a visit and brings people from far and wide

Wednesday is Market Day in Barnard castle

There are soooo many stalls all with different wares

There is lots of cafes, boutiques and independent shops to visit to really make a visit into town worth while
