The Teesdale Mercury is a rural weekly newspaper in County Durham in the United Kingdom, which has been published since 1854.[1][2][3][4] It is based in the town of Barnard Castle, and has printing facilities there, which were used to print the paper until it switched to colour in 2015.[1][5] The paper, along with its sister publication the Wear Valley Mercury (now closed), was owned by Lord Barnard.[5]
In 2024 the paper was sold to Andy Barr, owner of the Cumberland & Westmorland Herald, Keswick Reminder and the Cumbria Crack website.[6]
