Barnard Castle is a quaint and lively market town in County Durham, known for its antique shops and proximity to the castle with which it shares its name. The town’s rich history means that it has more than a few rewarding tales to reveal to enthusiastic visitors. One such story describes the marksman competition held in 1803, when fears of Napoleonic invasion still gripped the country; the formal results are unrecorded, but the two bullet holes in the weather vane in the marketplace are still visible today.
