- Join me for a walk around the delightful town centre of Barnard Castle, one of the most historic in County Durham, home to a collection of spectacular landmarks from centuries-old castle ruins to one of the country's largest museums!
On our walk around Barnard Castle, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the ruins of Barnard Castle, Barnard Castle Methodist Church, Galgate, The Three Horseshoes Hotel, the former home of Roderick Murchison, Barnard Castle Town Fountain, Horse Market, Market Place, The Witham, The Golden Lion pub, the former site of Humphrey's Clockmakers, the old King's Head (where Charles Dickens stayed in 1838), the Butter Market, St. Mary's Church, St. Mary's Catholic Church and the Bowes Museum.

Good evening! Thank you so much for over 6,900 subscribers! We're nearly at 7,000 on the channel - but before we get there, I hope you enjoy this walk around Barnard Castle, one of County Durham's most delightful market towns :)
Interestingly, there are a couple more interesting things to know about the town, particularly about its name. It's one of the few towns in England with the word 'castle' in its name, and its nickname 'Barney', derives from the phrase 'Barney Castle', a local phrase meaning 'a pathetic excuse'. Apparently, the phrase originates from the fact that John Bowes once retreated cowardly into the castle...
Barney is west, not east of Darlington. Shame the School, Alma Mater to a few England Rugby Players and other famous people did not get a mention. It's right next to the Museum.
As a local lad,now 52 years old,having lived here all my life,I found your video fantastic and very educational,thankyou for sharing this 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Barnard Castle is a really wonderful town full of history, and I'm delighted to hear that you learned some new things about your hometown too :)
Lovely to see your walk. I was lucky enough to be born here and lived here a couple of decades. Returned recently and very pleased to see the town is still bustling, always in my heart.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - the history of Barnard Castle and its many visitors certainly is very interesting - the castle grounds are really impressive inside, and if you're there in winter you can see directly from the castle over the Tees, which looks spectacular in this part of the country :)

I can remember visiting Bowes Museum way back in the 1980s, but completely ignored the town and its castle at the time as I was en route to somewhere else. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

I was stationed in the RA just outside of the town, 1960/61.
A lovely place to be I'm sure - certainly one of the calmest towns in County Durham :)

Ha ha thank you - I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Nice one let’s walk 🙏
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Barnard Castle is a lovely place indeed :)
Another brilliant walk thanks.. You may want to look up the film "The King they found in a carpark" on You Tube about the finding the Skeleton of Richard the Third and yes he really did have a "Crook Back"
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the walk - I've not seen the film about the unearthing of Richard III - I'll give it a watch, glad to know Shakespeare got it right about his crooked back!
I like Barney Rubble!
😂😂
Thank you for uploading your walk, I did enjoy it. I think Barnard Castle is west of Darlington not east as given in the captions, 3:44
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - I think that was a typo on my part, Barnard Castle certainly is west of Darlington as you mention, so thank you for pointing that out :)
Thank you for this leisurely and informative stroll. We've just come back from our first visit to Barnard Castle and this video fills in many of the gaps and unanswered questions we were left with. Perhaps we should have watched it BEFORE we visited though!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it answered some of the questions you had about Barnard Castle after visiting - it's an absolutely lovely town though as I'm sure you'll agree :)
Good video
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
thank you. I like it. I posted a video of a walk through a northern town in Russia. Enjoy watching
Did you test your eyesight while there?
How are you doing ihope you are fine actually iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well it’s impossible for us to travel to very far countries even before global pandemic may god end this misery soon amen so that I gathered main information about place you visited briefly here it’s Barnard castle after year 1093 on dramatic site above river the castle was built to control river crossing between bishop of Durham territory and honor of Richmond much of present castle was built during 12 th and early 13 th centuries by balliol family meaning of word Barnard castle it’s dialect of County Durham means pathetic excuse
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - there's a lot of riveting history in Barnard Castle, and it's a lovely town to boot :) I hope you get the chance to visit some time in the near future - but in the meantime thank you very much for watching and subscribing!
but it's all blurry ;)
😂
What memories I have of this charming little town,did my national service there 1952, with the Green Howards, visited Bowes Museum and had the entire place to my self no security at all then,quite a walk from town,must have been fit,couldnt do it now!
A new pair of glasses might do the trick !!
