This 12th-century clock tower stands 46 meters tall, dominating the Darlington skyline. Its stone façade features intricate carvings and ornate details, with a striking clock face on each side. The tower's architecture is a blend of medieval and Victorian styles, reflecting the town's rich history. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding area.
A useful landmark that you can use to tell the time.
'Darlo', as it's known to locals, is steeped in history and has some wonderful old buildings in its town centre. You'll see lots of people sat on the steps during a nice sunny day relaxing as it's one of the most peaceful town centres I have ever experienced.
It was a grey and dismal day in Darlington but it didn't water down the beauty of the Darlington Clock Tower in the market place. It is a central feature that marks time to the shoppers passing by on the street below and has done since it was gifted to the town by the Quaker, John Pease in 1864
Quick visit with the TEP team for a photo shoot to promote the upcoming festival of lights event. Very impressed how they changed the clock tower lights to match our company colours
Extremely beautiful views.
Situated nicely on Tubwell Road, where you can enjoy the sounds of the tower whilst sitting on the many steps or benches around. It's a beautiful sight.
