Strong industrial heritage & very friendly people!

A bit run down in places.
In a nutshell
Worth a bit of time to investigate. (as is all of the UK)
Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge
spidermiss Says: We paid a visit to Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. We had a two minute river crossing on the bridge's 'gondola' which began on the Middlesbrough side of the River Tees to Port Clarence's side. The bridge fully operational most of the day and carries vehicles and passengers...
Transporter Bridge Visitors Centre
spidermiss Says: After having a ride across the River Tess on the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge we had a look round The Visitors Centre which was opened in 2000 by Fred Dibnah.The Visitors Centre has a small exhibition about the bridge including The Grand Opening of the Bridge where...
jduck1979 Says: It's been a while since I've been there (probably 1991 when my Mum was still allowed to drive), but Stewart Park in the Marton area of Middlesbrough has long been one of the best places to visit in the area.One of the favourite things I remember about it is the pets corner...
cheekymarieh Says: (formerly known as Castle Eden Walkway Country Park)There are miles of circular footpaths around a disused railway line. The visitor’s centre is housed in the old railway station with displays about woodland history and wildlife. On Friday evenings (weather permitting) you...
The village of Great Ayton -...
cheekymarieh Says: The village of Great Ayton is located in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park about 10 miles from Middlesbrough.The main claim to fame is that the famous explorer Captain Cook was brought up in the village. You will find reminders of his existence throughout the village -...
cheekymarieh Says: This village has a unique character. There are many 18th and 19th century houses and shops around the Georgian High Street. This is one of several conservation areas within Stockton. It has a picturesque pond overlooked by the Saxon 11th century St Mary’s Church. The village...
Airpunk Says: This park is located northwest to St. Hilda in an industrial area. It is nothing really beautiful, far away from civilization and with a view on even more industrial areas on the other side of the Tees river. This view, on the other hand, gives you an idea what the city is...
1 Review and 188 Opinions I personally wouldn't recommend this hotel. It is not centrally located and is just off a main road...

Ann's Pantry: Breakfast, coffee and authenticity
Airpunk Says: A really authentic place where Middlesbrough’s working population comes in for breakfast and lunch. I don’t know how good a german tourist carrying some luggage fitted in between some construction workers taking their brake. And at the moment I ordered my coffee black, I was...
Airpunk Says: Although Middlesbrough’s rise came with the train line, Middlesbrough’s importance as a train station is only minimal. The station is as old as 1830, but the current building is from 1877. Today, only Manchester (including Manchester Airport), York, Newcastle and some nearby...
Airpunk Says: The coach is the most convenient way to get to Middlesbrough. The large coach station is well served by several lines from National Express and other companies. The two-floor station is clean and monitored by CCTV. In the lower floor, there is also a fast food restaurant....
Helpfulness
We wanted to don some shopping so ended up in the shopping centre in Middlesbrough. There are the usual high street stores , but also some less well known chains. Parking was not so easy but we found a car park that did lead to the mall.
The children were particularly taken by a shop making drinks from well-known chocolate bars : Mars, Galaxy and oreos.

keeweechic Says: In Mid July there is a Asian arts and culture festival with many smaller events and a large concert in Albert Park. There are several stages set up with a variety of music and dancing exhibits. There is also ‘Bhangra Night’ a festival of sports which centres on the visual...
keeweechic Says: Winters tend to be long and tough while Spring comes late and only lasts a short while. Summer temperatures are generally cool to mild. On the plus side, the annual rainfall is amongst the lowest in the country which is thanks largely to the county sitting in the lee ('rain...
jduck1979 Says: Middlesbrough has a bit of a reputation for crime, so if you do decide to visit this place (and there are some good things about the place) it pays to use some common sense......... like if you have to take a camera with you, take a compact camera you can hide away in your...
If you are driving, look out...
Rob47 Says: If you are driving, look out for speed cameras because this police authority gets to keep the fines. Fact !Some cameras are fixed (painted yellow these days ) some are set up next to an unmarked police van and there are lots of police cars roaming around.So if you see...
cheekymarieh Says: This sculpture is located in Russell Street, Central Gardens. It is Middlesbrough’s largest and most controversial public sculpture. You maybe can't tell by looking at it but it pays tribute to the town’s most famous citizen, Captain James Cook, the area’s proud iron and...
keeweechic Says: The Lake District National Park covers an area of around 885 square miles. It is the biggest of 11 national parks which found in England and Wales. You will find over 1,800 miles of footpaths winding through some of Britain's most gorgeous countryside. Wordsworth and Ruskin...
keeweechic Says: This is a magnificent Norman Cathedral and one of the best in Europe. Built in 1093, it is the shrine of St Cuthbert and together with Durham Castle, is a World Heritage Site. The tower was rebuilt between 1465 and 1490. During the Reformation the inside of the Cathedral was...
Middlesbrough - League Cup Winners 2004
cheekymarieh Says: A visit to the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough to watch the local Premier Division team is highly recommended. There is a great deal on talent currently on display on match days.I have been a season ticket holder at the club since 1981 when I was just a child. I've rarely...
Airpunk Says: Unfortunately, Middlesbrough has no luggage storage facilities. None at the coach station, none at the train station, none at the shopping mall. The only people willing to keep an eye on my luggage were the friendly people at the Dorman Museum while I was visiting the...

'You're Just A Small Town On Teesside'
This area of the UK has more attributes than the southern journalists would lead you to believe. Every time Middlesbrough football team signs a foreign star the critics run down the area. Judge for......
In the first century, the site of what is now Middlesbrough was just a timber built church and a community on a small hill which rose up from the river and sloped away to the surrounding marshland.......
