Great Site
A very well manicured site. We were pitched in what used to be the dog walk field, now developed into very well prepared hardstanding pitches (some fully serviced). This area was very peaceful and there is still a small dog walking area should you need it.
The facilities were up to the usual high standard for C&MH sites and we have to say that the wardens were very welcoming and helpful and gave great recommendations on places to visit and eat in Barnard Castle itself, including the Old Well Inn. We also followed their Teesdale river walk to Cotherstone and can recommend the Fox and Hounds for Sunday lunch.
Walking down to Barnard Castle isn't too much of a problem. If you don't wish to walk on the verge alongside the road there is an alternative walk through the Nature Reserve. This is a longer walk and much steeper in places but very pleasant otherwise.
