Types of Materials found in Barnard Castle
Barnard Castle sits above the River Tees, where the underlying Carboniferous sandstone and shale bedrock typical of the Durham Dales is overlaid in most areas by glacial boulder clay, holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain. Ground closer to the river gorge itself tends to be firmer, with bedrock closer to the surface, while the surrounding farmland further from the town has more typical clay dominant conditions common across this part of County Durham.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Barnard Castle?
Barnard Castle has a conservation area covering much of its historic centre around the castle ruins, where fencing changes may need extra consultation with Durham County Council. Standard rules apply elsewhere.
Does Barnard Castle's rural setting affect fencing needs?
Being surrounded by Teesdale farmland, many properties on the edges of town border agricultural land, and stock proof fencing is a common requirement for anyone keeping animals or adjoining working farms.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Barnard Castle?
Durham County Council operates household waste recycling centres in the area that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
