Barnard Castle was built by Bernard de Balliol in 1125 when
he succeeded to the lands first given to Guy de Balliol in 1095.
The original timber castle was rebuilt in stone and expanded
by Bernard and his younger son, Bernard de Balliol II. The
large castle is built high on rocky cliffs above the River Tees,
and is divided into four wards all walled in stone. The inner
ward is protected by a deep ditch cut into the rock and within
this ward are the remains of the most important castle
buildings including the Round Tower and the Great Hall.
