The castle was built by John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby, between approximately 1367 and 1390.

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 view of the castle form here is great at any time but if you can get down early in the morning to catch the sunrise it's stunning!

The spectacular ruins of Egglestone Abbey occupy a picturesque spot above the River Tees. The crumbling ruins are all that survives of a small Premonstratensian monastery that was founded in the late 12th century. The site is owned by English Heritage and is free to enter between 10am-6pm. For more information, visit: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/egglestone-abbey/.

This funny little bridge (with steps that you have to lift your bike up) is a quiet route alternative to the busy, main road that climbs up to the town centre. You also get a great view of the castle.
