About
About Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton-on-Tees is a market town in County Durham, England, with a population of 84,815 at the 2021 census. It gives its name to and is the largest settlement in the wider Borough of Stockton-on-Tees.
Stockton was a Saxon farming settlement that morphed into a port on the tidal River Tees, but remained small until around 1800. It then burgeoned with industry and shipping powered by the Durham coalfields and Eston Hills iron ores, with steel furnaces, metal-bashing trades and chemicals. In 1822 the first rail was laid here for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, with the world's first steam-hauled train arriving on 27 Sept 1825. The Tees navigable channel was enlarged as ships grew, but Stockton was at a disadvantage to downstream ports and shipping trade was gradually lost.

Getting there
Getting to Stockton-on-Tees: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Teesside International Airport (MME), about 9.8 km from the city centre in a straight line; Newcastle International Airport (NCL, 57 km) and Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA, 81 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
Newcastle Airport has flights from across western Europe and is only 90 min away by rail and metro. Manchester Airport is better for any destination further out. The hourly direct train to Thornaby takes 2 hr 45 min. Teesside Airport (MME) is five miles west of Stockton. It only has six flights a day, from Inverness, Aberdeen, Amsterdam, Alicante and Palma de Mallorca. The hourly bus between Darlington and Stockton calls at the airport. Thornaby is the main station, south of the river half a mile from High Street, and near Durham University Queens Campus.
Getting around
Local bus services are provided by Arriva and Stagecoach - these will get you between the town centre and more outlying areas such as Norton or Billingham. But most of the main sights are close together and thus reasonably walkable, particularly on a pleasant day along the riverside.
