Cleatlam is a tiny rural civil parish in County Durham, within the borough of Darlington. It occupies gently rolling agricultural land a short drive from the River Tees and the Pennines, with scattered stone farmhouses and narrow lanes giving it a quietly pastoral character.
The community is small and traditionally agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Darlington or Barnard Castle. Historic field patterns and old farmsteads hint at long settlement, and the parish is valued for its tranquillity, rural views and easy access to walking country in the Tees Valley.
