Best Western

Thank you for visiting Walworth Castle Hotel's web site.

Walworth Castle Hotel is set in the rolling countryside of the Tees valley, just to the west of Darlington and close to the A1(M) in County Durham. It was built in 1189 and is one of the few castle hotels in England.

Recently refurbished to an extremely high standard by owners Rachel and Chris Swain , Walworth Castle Hotel really is the ideal venue to sample England's living history.
