Merrybent is a small village on the western fringe of Darlington in County Durham, sited close to the River Tees and alongside the busy A1(M). Its position gives a pleasant mix of riverside and open countryside, while still being within easy commuting distance of the town and the wider Tees Valley.
Historically the locality draws on agricultural roots and the wider transport history of the area - not far from the early tracks of the Stockton and Darlington Railway - and today it feels like a quiet residential hamlet with a small, close-knit community that relies on nearby Darlington for most shops and services, and on the surrounding Teesdale countryside for walking and outdoor pursuits.
