Borough of Darlington

The Borough of Darlington covers an area of almost 200 km².  It includes the town of Darlington, plus a rural area consisting of 26 civil parishes. It includes two parliamentary constituencies (the whole of Darlington Constituency and part of Sedgefield Constituency).

Darlington can refer to either the town of Darlington or the Borough of Darlington.

Darlington Borough was previously part of County Durham. It is now a unitary authority and is part of the North East region and the Tees Valley sub-region. 

Postcodes

The Borough of Darlington covers the following postcode districts: 

  • the whole of DL3
  • almost all of DL1
  • a large part of DL2
  • some small parts of DL4, DL5, and DL6
  • part of TS21.

A property's postal address is not a reliable indicator of which local authority it lies in.  This is because there are some rural properties within the Darlington Borough, but near the outskirts, whose address reflects their proximity to a nearby village or town beyond the boundary (such as Stillington, Shildon, Newton Aycliffe or even Stockton). There may also be properties beyond the boundary whose address includes Darlington.
