Raby Castle

This dramatic 14thC castle near Staindrop was built by the mighty Nevilles and has been home to Lord Barnard's family since 1626.

In the well-preserved halls and chambers, history comes vibrantly to life. Throughout the castle the rooms display fine furniture, impressive artwork and elaborate architecture including works by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Van Dyck. There is also a deer park, large walled gardens, and a coach and carriage collection. The castle Events take place throughout the summer.

 

The castle's kitchen is unaltered since 1360 and remained in use until 1954.
