Around & About Barnard Castle & the Teesdale Way

Barnard Castle and the Teesdale Way offer delightful walking experiences. The Teesdale Way is a 92-mile long-distance route spanning from Dufton in the North Pennines to Redcar & Cleveland’s beaches on the North Sea. It winds through County Durham, passing by Middleton-in-Teesdale, Barnard Castle, and other charming spots. For a more spontaneous adventure, consider a circular walk starting and ending in Barnard Castle, following the Teesdale Way along the south side of the River Tees, crossing via a footbridge near Cotherstone village, and returning on the opposite bank. The terrain is mostly flat, taking you through farmland and riverside woodlands.
