The Old Chapel

Barnard Castle, North East England

The Old Chapel
Tucked away in Barnard Castle, County Durham, The Old Chapel is a snug retreat for two, ideal for a quiet weekend away from it all. The town itself has plenty of character, and this converted chapel makes a characterful base for exploring it.

History and art fans will want to make the 5.2-mile trip to The Bowes Museum, one of the region's standout collections, set in impressive grounds. Beyond that, Barnard Castle and its surrounding countryside offer the kind of unhurried break that suits a couple happy to wander, browse and relax without a packed itinerary.
