Located on County Durham’s southern boundary, Darlington is a large market town that has benefitted from considerable investment in modern shopping facilities. Whilst these main centres are home to most of the multiple retailers, there are still over 250 independent retailers in the town. Just Paintball on the Nestfield Industrial Estate is justifiably proud of its reputation as the largest paintballing shop in the UK.
Fishing retailers are well represented by Carp Finatix in High Northgate and Darlington Angling Centre Freehams. Bike Stop in Skinnergate and The Iron Horse Cyclery in Clarks Yard are both well known in Darlington for their excellent ranges of new cycles and spare parts as well as bicycle accessories likes lights and panniers. Customers should also try Strokes Sports in Kellaw Road for all the latest tennis and squash equipment.
