Things to do on site and in the Darlington area

When you're not tucking into a hearty meal or a refreshing drink inside the country pub, you can be out and about visiting local attractions.

Get active in Hamsterley Forest, around 15 minutes away and perfect for a day out walking or cycling. Top that off with a history-packed outdoor show at Kynren in Bishop Auckland, where both daytime and evening shows with dinner included are available. There are also several nice walks to take from the site.

Culture vultures can have a look at the art, fashion and design exhibits at The Bowes Museum or steam off to Locomotion at Shildon which has more than 250,000 items in its collection of railway history, and an excellent cafe.

Beamish (around 40 minutes away) provides another exceptional window into the past, where you'll explore life in North East England - riding vintage trams and experiencing life on a wartime farm.
