The Area

Barnard Castle

Park Terrace is situated off Newgate less than a quarter of a mile from the centre of this historic market town. Barnard Castle supports a traditional range of amenities being dominated by the castle ruins and river Tees with delightful open countryside surrounding. It supports state and private schools, both which are co-educational. For the commuter the A66, A67 and A1 (M) provide links with the major commercial centres of the North East. Darlington Mainline Railway Station and Durham Tees Valley International Airport offer further communications with the rest of the country.

Many of the attractions of the region are within a short drive, beyond which can be found the delights of North Yorkshire, the Lake District, Northumberland, the Scottish Borders and the East Coast.

Note One

At the very bottom of the garden is a gateway connecting with the adjoining properties garden creating a right of way out onto the demesnes, although we are led to believe that this right has not been exercised for a number of years.
