About

Whinfield ward lies on the eastern edge of Darlington, primarily characterised by residential housing estates developed in the latter half of the 20th century. The area is structured around several main roads, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. Local amenities are focused on a central parade of shops serving the immediate community, alongside primary schools and recreational green spaces integrated within the neighbourhood layout.

The ward contains a significant amount of open land, including the grounds of the former Whinfield House.
