- After backpacking through Central America for 8 months, I'm back home in England, working and saving for my next adventure abroad. Inspired by the rich history and diverse cultures I experienced in Central America, I felt compelled to explore the historical treasures of my own market town, Darlington. Unbeknownst to me, Darlington is brimming with fascinating history and captivating stories. Join me as I uncover the hidden gems of this charming English town, from Arthur Wharton, the pioneering black football player, to the incredible journey of a Crimean War cannon that narrowly made its way to Darlington. Embark on this captivating journey and discover the untold tales of Darlington's past, where history comes alive at every turn. Explore, learn, and be inspired by the historical wonders of this remarkable town.
I am an older backpacker who will be travelling the world in the next few months proving that backpacking is not just for the younger generation.

Thanks for the story about St Cuthbert and him carrying a head in his right hand. Quaker Cemetery, I've passed the Quaker Building many, many times but never knew of the Cemetery.

Great Vid mate.
I visited Darlington in 2022, going back next year for another visit to see Raby Castle
I have lived in Darlington for 15 years and I think it is an awesome town :) Thank you for your comment and hope you enjoy yourself next year.
Yay! Arthur Wharton and all things Darlo. If you are planning a visit there is an award winning pub run by a mate of mine The Quakerhouse which is in the town centre and well worth a visit.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I’m backpacking around the world for a year so won’t be back home in Darlington until the end of next year.

Great video mate,but I must correct you on the building of the Brick Train, Designer was David Mach and the train known as the Mallard was built in 1997.
