Things to do for a one year old in STOCKTON ON TEES/DURHAM area

[monkeymonkeymoomoo]

I am going to a conference in Durham for two days in a couple of weeks, am taking my DD and DH with me. DH will look after her for the duration of the conference. Wanted ideas of things to do in this area for a baby of this age?

Yes he will have full use of the car whilst I am at the conference (groan!)

Preston Park in Eaglescliffe (if you are based in Stockton - probably not worth the drive from Durham!). Loads of grassy space for LO to mess around (weather peremitting), nice playground with swings etc, some animals I think (it's been a while..)
