Darlington in General

Darlington on first glance appears to be your run of the mill mid-sized boring english town. And during the day, it is. But, you can still have an alrite night out if you know where to go and what to do. My night out of choice is a thursday nite. This is widely recognised as student nite, and I like it because it is a relativly cheap nite, plus its busy with people my age, and most importantly, the girl count is high. You should start out at about 8 30 pm, going to a few pubs first, before the clubs. I recomend Berlins, for good loud music and nice facilities, Humphreys, because one of the bar ... more

The birthplace of the train! "This area doesn't really seem to get mentioned much, and when it does people seem to home in on the cold weather and the rain! However there really is a lot to do in the north east of England, and especially Darlington. If you have ever heard of Darlington then you are probably familier with it due to the Stockton - Darlington railway which was the first railway to be founded in the United Kingdom. In Darlington itself there is a museum dedicated to this, and slightly further away, (accessable by train!), there is the railway musuem at Shildon. If these museum ... more

I live in DArlington, the home of the steam train, in the North East of England. It is a great place. Loads of crazy shops, a cool market, a top notch sports complex, several high tech technology colleges, affluent areas of rich greenery etc. etc. The best thing about Darlington is the weather. Whenever it is said to be raining or snowing or even sunny any where else in the country, Darlington remains foggy. I don't know why that is. Bad things about Darlington include: The ABC cinema, Run down KFC, football team, posh people, sunday traders and pest control; many many flying ants. ... more
