I live in Darlington so i thought i would write a review about this town for anyone planning a visit here. I hope this helps you make up your mind.
Firstly Darlington is mainly famous Railway, the Darlington to Stockton line which was the first railway line to be built. There is a nice railway museum in Darlington which holds different exhibitions. The next exhibition to be held at the museum is A Day Out With Thomas which is great for the kids. There is rides on Thomas the tank engine train, face painting, balloon sculpting, art and craft activities, food stalls, craft stalls, live music and many more things for the whole family to enjoy. The price to enjoy this is family - £35, adults - 8, chldren - 7, and under 2's are free. This great weekend is on the 7th and 8th of July from 10am till 5pm.

This is a 60 room hotel close to Darlington Town Centre and owned by Duncan Bannatyne - one of the Dragons from the "Dragon's Den" TV Show. It is based on a 1820's house with recent, tasteful extensions. On arrival my first impression was a bit of a thumbs down as car parking was congested but I managed after a couple of minutes.

The staff have clearly been given all the right sort of training to make the right noises and stay calm when services required are rattled off - ironing board, paper, internet connections (yes to all). I was slightly surprised to ...
Advantages: Good action shots, Angelina Jolie Disadvantages: Poor Story
Lara Croft has made the transfer from computer generated heart throb in the tomb raider games series to a star on the big screen in the form of Angelina Jolie in the smash film of the same name – ‘Tomb Raider’.
The film starts with a bang, seeing our heroine Lara face to face with a monster robot in an ancient ruin fighting for her life, guns blazing and some very nice moves. However it is all a mock, mere practice and relaxation for Lara Croft, but it fooled me into thinking it was real.
The real plot is Lara Croft is the daughter of the famous explorer Lord Croft, (Jon Voight) who was tragically lost or missing from one of his trips. Lara, (Angelina Jolie) has inherited her fathers’ sense of action and adventure herself, and finds her biggest challenge yet as she is out to protect the world from evil as ...
