Teesdale
Gainford is renowned for its 13th-century church, Georgian houses, narrow streets and one of the finest village greens in the southern part of the county. Gainford is conveniently situated between Barnard Castle and Darlington on the A67. It is a pleasant and picturesque old village on the slope of a hill which falls gradually to the Tees Visit Gainford, set in the rural splendour of lower Teesdale.
