Heritage

Step back in time, see, smell and touch Darlington's fascinating heritage.

From the pioneers of rail travel at Darlington's Head of Steam RailwayMuseum to the story of the Quakers who shaped the face of today's Darlington.

Explore it all through a series of short, themed trails, illustrated in our 'discover a different Darlington' guide, available only as a PDF.

Discover ghosts, famous sons, architectural delights, Christian heritage and public art without having to swallow a morsel of dusty text book in the process!

For tales of Roman ancestors, take a trip to Piercebridge where at the Piercebridge Roman Fort site you will discover how Darlington was part of Roman Dere Street.

Watch out too for the developing micro attraction, 'Medieval Ulnaby' located on the site of a buried Medieval Village, near Walworth, in which BBC's Time Team took an interest and came to film.
