🌳Bluebells starting to appear in the woods in #Durham means time for a walk, but found out so much! 🏭 Thanks to the Houghall Trail info boards learnt that part of the area was once home to a community connected to a local mine. 🚶Also spotted signs for the Camino Inglés!

Anyone else have a list of things they would like to find out more about one day? I'd love to expand my knowledge on #tiles ! As an example, these are from the English Heritage site of Langley Chapel, I'd just like to be a bit more knowledgeable -any recommended tile reads?📚
