Raby Castle is one of Britain’s most complete and magical castles. Set in wonderful expanses of parkland… a Deer Park… it has a fairytale appearance and is very popular with visitors. Located in the village of Staindrop in Lower Teesdale only 5 miles from Barnard Castle, it is very accessible. As well as the castle to explore, there are also Gardens and a Coach House to interest you as well. this is one of my favourite visitor attractions and a high choice on any list of places to visit.
