Sat Nav Users
The postcode reference point is in Montalbo road and if you follow your Sat Nav, it will probably take you to Castle Vets around the corner from the Enterprise Park. Unfortunately there is no through road to our unit from there, so you are advised to look at the map and make sure you come onto Harmire Enterprise Park, rather than turning into Montalbo Road.
From the North (A688)
Follow the A688 from Bishop Auckland/West Auckland, past Raby Castle and through the village of Staindrop, to Barnard Castle. As you enter Barnard Castle, you will pass Teesdale School on your right and reach a mini-roundabout with a Jet petrol station on your left.
At the mini-roundabout, turn right towards the town centre. After about 400 yards, the road into town bends to the left and there is a large side-road on the right (B6278, Harmire Road), signposted for Middleton-in-Teesdale. There are also signposts for the Police Station, Harmire Enterprise Park and Teesdale Sports Centre.
Turn right onto Harmire Road and continue for about half a mile, passing the large GSK (Glaxo Smithkline) building on your right and the Red Well Inn on your left. Just after the Red Well, turn left into Harmire Enterprise Park. Follow the road around as it bends to the left and you will see The Carrosserie Company on your left. Turn left into the access road beside the Carrosserie Company. Graphicus and Elusive Images occupy the separate building at the far end of this access road.
From the North (A67)
Follow the A67 from Darlington, past Piercebridge, Gainford and Winston, to Barnard Castle. When you enter Barnard Castle, you will reach a mini-roundabout with a Jet petrol station on your right. Continue straight over the mini-roundabout, heading towards the town centre. After about 400 yards, turn right onto the B6278 Harmire Road and proceed as above.
From the South (A66)
From the A66, proceed towards Barnard Castle and pass through the town centre following signs for Darlington or Middleton-in-Teesdale. As you are driving out from the town centre, you will pass a pub called The Beaconsfield on your right. Shortly after this, you will see the B6278 Harmire Road on your left, signposted for Middleton-in-Teesdale. Turn left on to Harmire Road and proceed as above.
