Travel by Bike
Rather than walking, you may prefer cycling, which is a great way to get around the local area, and there is no limit to how far your bike can take you.
Cycling is a zero-carbon form of transport, helps build muscle, and is linked to improved heart and lung capacity. It can also save you time as you filter through the traffic and avoid the queues during the commuting peak hours.
There is a wide range of destinations within a 30-minute cycle from your new home:
Darlington Town Centre
Morton Park – Retail Park
Morrisons
Dunelm
Woodlands Hospital
Teesside University
Darlington Hippodrome
Darlington Rail Station
Cycle parking and long-stay storage are available at the station.
