Nice cafe at the castle.

Walworth Castle stands in the Tees Valley countryside, west of Darlington. It dates back to 1189, and the building is set in 18 acres of lawns and woodlands.

The country park in the grounds of Auckland Castle is mostly in the area between the River Wear and the River Gaunless. The castle is the home for the Prince Bishops of Durham. It's open to the public (paid entry) to visit and view over q 1000 years of history. The castle sits in an area of deer park which you can walk through. There is also a deer shelter built in the style of a castle or folly that was designed to provide feeding and shelter for the deer and a place for a picnic for the wealthy residents.

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.

This privately owned, Grade I-listed mansion is a fine sight for walkers on the Weardale Way long-distance trail. The property dates from the 17th century but saw extensive alterations – including its impressive internal Rococo plasterwork – in the 1760s. Its surrounding gardens were landscaped in the mid 18th century. Another Grade I-listed building on the site is a disused 12th-century chapel, which is on English Heritage's Buildings At Risk register.

Awesome castle venue for a quick coffee.

Great little coffee shop. The castle is private so you can't go in.
