Pinpoint
Barnard Castle
A substantial ruin above the River Tees, built by the Balliol family and later held by the Nevilles, with English Heritage now looking after what remains of the walls and towers. No visitor review data is available for this listing, so treat the practical details below as a starting point rather than the full picture.
Worth the trip
The setting above the Tees gorge - even in ruin, the site's defensive logic is obvious from the walls above the river.
