While K was working I went to 'Head of Steam' which is Darlington's Railway Museum. It's not as big as York but it's a smart little place with some interesting exhibits. A lot of the focus is on Darlington's role in the pioneering days of the railways.
We nipped up to Durham after K had finished her meeting. We'd booked two nights in the Marriott (booked before K started working for Hilton!) and the hotel was nice with a great location right in the centre of time.
It was my first visit to Durham and really enjoyed it. Had a good curry on the Friday night then spent Saturday doing lots of touristy things. We visited the cathedral and then the botanical gardens - along with a few GBG pubs including the Elm Tree where we had dinner.
Home on Sunday after breakfast. Very enjoyable weekend and would recommend Durham if you fancy a short break.
