With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Barnard Castle, 20 miles away, has to offer. High Force ought to be toward the top of your list here. Low Force and Eggleston Hall are excellent attractions too. Morpeth is another terrific option. It’s 25 miles away and home to tons of fun things to do. Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens, Woodhorn Museum and Northumberland Archives and Treacle Wool Shop are only the start.
