We're on holiday with the usual suspects just outside Richmond, Yorkshire. We stayed in Culloden Tower about 15 years ago and remember the visit with affection. This time we're in a barn conversion which is luxurious, warm and the height of comfort. 
We've already visited Darlington, our stomping ground from our student days, although it looks very different now.
