About

Haughton Le Skerne is a residential suburb situated to the north-east of Darlington town centre, bounded by the A66 and the East Coast Main Line. The area is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. Local amenities are centred along Haughton Road, which provides essential shops and services for the community.

The area is defined by the Skerne River, which flows through its western edge, giving the district its name. Haughton Green offers a significant open space for recreation. Historically a separate village, its absorption into Darlington is reflected in the presence of St. Andrew's Church, a medieval structure with later additions standing near the river.
