Barnard Castle has several attractions, including the Bowes Museum, which was designed and purpose built as a public gallery. In the style of a French Chateau the museum can with some justification claim to one of the best collections of European fine & decorative arts in the country. To the southeast of the town are the attractive remains of 12th century Egglestone Abbey, which JMW Turner painted and Rokeby Hall, that features in the work of Sir Walter Scott.

North of Barnard Castle are Teesdales, Weardale and the Derwent Valley, much of which fall within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. High Force is one of the country’s most impressive waterfalls and is situated about 4½ miles northwest of Middleton-on-Tees.
