Good evening! And welcome to this walk around one of Britain's loveliest market towns, the once little-known Barnard Castle! Home to centuries of captivating history, there's so much to this enthralling town that's worthy of making headlines, and we'll dive into it all on this tour of the town on a cloudy morning.
One important correction to make in the narration - Barnard Castle is located west of Darlington, not to the east as I accidentally said at 4:07 - apologies for the error!
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...
Love at first sight. What a magnificent little town ❤❤❤
So glad I found this!!Just thought I would search and saw this was just posted 👍🏻👍🏻My 103 year old grandma was born and raised and married in Barnard Castle.
Does she have any relation to the Bowes?? we may be distantly related! My ancestors were all born in Barnard castle, Streatlam castle and Durham castle
Wow, my family history starts here.
Lovely video of a lovely place👍
Lovely to know about the interesting history of Barnard Castle, the view of the town centre is amazing!

Should have gone to ... Specsavers. Sorry folks... but it had to be done. 😎

That man is an insult to Barney..😡
A Nice Travel Guide Video 😃
Nice walking tour. Thank you for sharing.
Ty, very interesting. I’ll be there on December 2022. I hope it will not so cold!
This is where my Family came from.
As a locally born 'weardale'...pBarny as we used to call it was our sunday night trip over for fish n chips...cracking vid...👍
Just found out this was where my 5th great grandmother was born. Mary Kipling
It is such a great place to visit. I went there about 2 months ago it was very quiet interesting place to visit in Yorkshire. 😀
It’s not Yorkshire
Belting chippy in Barnard Castle, when i was there delivering up there last year, got fish n chips best I've ever had
You remember the name? I work near here.
@@kensearle4451 it was called fryer tucks cooked in dripping, delicious
thanks!
Very good as always,
Thank you
What about the Masonic building?
First time I’ve spotted one in your videos and in my many trips around England
Interesting video again.
I visited Bowes Museum in 1972 while courting my wife to be when it was still in Yorkshire, where it had been for centuries and to all true Tykes still is despite what Ted Heath decided in 1974.
Mike, I was born in startforth over 70 years ago and the boundary for Yorkshire/Durham was the river. Startforth being in Yorkshire and Barney in Durham.
Even to this day Startforth church comes under the Ripon Diocese, which of course is in Yorkshire.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I do know that the castle was once owned by Richard 111 who was a Yorkist.
The castle itself has been owned by MANY. from the 9th Century onwards ..but it passed from Henry Beauchamp in or around 1460..to his Sister, Anne 16th Countess of Warwick.. wife of Richard Warwick, the Kingmaker.. .his daughter ( also Anne ) married Richard lll .and the castle passed to him on the death of the Kingmaker at the Battle of Barnet… I live about 12 miles from Barney and worked there at Artisan aka The Castle tearooms ( an upscale gift shop 😂) .And yes I’m a history buff and Ricardian.. 😂🇬🇧
I have lived in Barnard Castle for 73 years, and as far as I know, it has been in County Durham for centuries. North Yorkshire was just over the River Tees until the seventies when boundary changes expanded County Durham into North Yorkshire.
@@MrDogbog
We are both correct.
I’ve looked at several maps I have of Yorkshire pre 1974 and Barnard Castle was indeed never in Yorkshire.
Bowes though was certainly in the North Riding, as were Startforth, Catherstone, Romaldkirk, Mickleton, Lonton and Holwick.
These were near the border of a part of the North Riding jutting into County Durham which were shown on a map of 1820.
