Pasture View is the ideal location to explore the local area and beyond. Standing above the River Tees, Barnard Castle has many independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a weekly market as well as a monthly market. It is also home to the magnificent Bowes Museum and the ruins of its castle. Walking, cycling or rambling are popular activities in the area as well as visiting some of the attractions that Teesdale has to offer.
Directly behind the cottage is a lovely walk to Barnard Castle ( good footwear is advised as it can be muddy in wet weather ) through fields, then along Deepdale River before reaching the River Tees. High Force waterfall is within easy reach as are Raby Castle and Deer Park, Tan Hill (the highest pub in England), Hamsterley Forest and the market town of Richmond. A little further afield places of interest include the cathedral city of Durham, Yorkshire Dales or even the stunning Lake District. However, guests may wish to stay close to Pasture View so they can relax and unwind—shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles away.

3rd time as Pasture View. Perfect as always. The cottage is clean, warm, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Walks into Barnard Castle through the woods from the door. Plenty of other walks and places to visit nearby. Heather and Tim are fab hosts.

A fabulous property conveniently located just a couple of miles from Barnard Castle. Pasture View is very spacious and comfortable and very well equipped. The kitchen/dining area in particular is perfect. The outdoor seating options are great and if it's too cold the seating area in the porch will soon warm you up! The historic town of Durham is only about 45 minutes away but there is also plenty to do much closer including Barnard Castle with the castle ruins the excellent Bowes Museum. High Force is well worth the effort and Raby Castle is a real gem. I would highly recommend Pasture View.
