You will find a largely pedestrianised city centre filled with a mix of local and national stores. Many visitors enjoy visiting the Darlington Railway Centre and Museum, which celebrates the important history of the area during Victorian England. A huge number of attractions can be found in the local region, including the impressive Northern Echo Arena, which is home to the local football team and many concerts throughout the year.
