Barnard Castle

Barnard Castle is a market town in Teesdale, Area Durham, England. It is called after the castle around which it was constructed. It is the main settlement in the Teesdale location, and is a prominent visitor location. The Bowes Museum has the most effective collection of European penalty and also decorative arts in the North of England, housed in a splendid 19th-century French-style chateau. Its most popular exhibition is the 18th-century Silver Swan robot, though art includes job by Goya and El Greco. Barnard Castle remains on the north bank of the River Tees, opposite Startforth as well as 21 miles (34 km) south-west of the county town of Durham. Neighboring communities include Bishop Auckland to the north-east, Darlington to the eastern and also Richmond in North Yorkshire to the south-east. Barnard Castle's biggest single employer is GlaxoSmithKline which has a manufacturing facility on the outskirts of community. Barnard Castle is for all functions (historical, ceremonial and management) situated in County Durham. The area boundary with the North Riding of Yorkshire was adjusted in 1967: that part of the community of Barnard Castle traditionally in Yorkshire was included in County Durham. Barnard Castle was the administrative centre of the former Teesdale area of County Durham up until its abolition on 1 April 2009. The community is now carried out by Durham County Council Unitary Authority, as primary authority and by Barnard Castle Town Council, as a church. The Community Council chooses a ceremonial Town Mayor annually. It belongs to the Bishop Auckland parliamentary constituency, which as of 2017 is stood for in parliament by Helen Goodman of Work, though with a small majority over the Conservatives. It remains in the North East England region, which functions as a constituency for the European Parliament. In between 1894 as well as 1967 the community was administratively part of Barnard Castle Urban Area.
