Closer to home, enjoy the Bob Abley Art Gallery, the Norman Cornish Trail, Jubilee Park, and the peaceful walking routes of the wider Durham countryside. For nature lovers, the dramatic waterfalls of High Force and Cauldron Snout in Teesdale are an easy drive away.
Meanwhile, Darlington puts you close to its renowned railway heritage at Hopetown Darlington (Head of Steam), the beautiful Darlington Hippodrome, and excellent shopping and dining. The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors are both easily accessible to the south, making Darlington a brilliant base for combining a city break with stunning countryside.
