Darlington is a large market town in the North East of England with a current population of around 360,000. It is a historic place with roots dating back to the Anglo-Saxon era and was heavily influenced by the Georgian and Victorian eras. The town is considered the birthplace of the modern railway following the creation of the world's first steam locomotive-powered passenger railway many years ago.

Darlington is known for its engineering industry, in particular bridge building. World-famous bridges have been built in Darlington including Australia's Sydney Harbour Bridge. The town has a quaint charm and buzz, with lots of local landmarks making it special. The clock tower bells are the sister bells to those in London's Big Ben. Other notable areas of interest include the Head of Steam railway museum and the Piercebridge Roman Fort on the outskirts of the town.

Being a historic market town, Darlington boasts one of the biggest weekly outdoor markets in the country as well as an indoor market located underneath the town clock. The town centre has lots of wider shopping opportunities with high-street favourites as well as hundreds of bespoke independent stores offering unique finds. For those looking to relax at a pub, bar or restaurant, the town centre has lots of great options for locals and visitors to choose from.

Darlington is a diverse and lively town, making it a fantastic location to reach people from all walks of life.
