Castle Raby was originally built in the 11th century, with some of that architecture still intact. It was modernised in the 14th century and remains one of the most complete castles in the country. The castle and parkland are paid entry, but you can visit the café without paying entry.

The Grade II-listed Witton Castle has seen many changes in its much-modified existence. Built in the 15th-century, today it is at the heart of the Witton Castle Country Park, a vast estate that houses a holiday park, lakes, mature woodland and nature reserves. There are a number of good trails around the site and the village of Witton-le-Wear is just a short walk away too.

Bishop Auckland is a vibrant and historic market town that sits proudly above the River Wear. Often referred to as the 'gateway to Weardale' it is an important stop on the Weardale Way long-distance trail. There's plenty to see and do. As well as the bustling town centre, there's the impressive Auckland Castle, which has recently undergone extensive renovation work. Also of interest is the 150-acre (60 ha) deer park and the Gothic Revival sylings of its 18th-century Deer House.
