Yarm is a ward in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. It centres on the historic market town by the River Tees, with a characterful Georgian high street, riverside walks and a distinctive stone bridge; the ward also includes surrounding residential areas popular with commuters into Teesside and Durham.
Historically a market and river‑trading settlement, the area retains a strong local identity through independent shops, cafes, regular markets and community events, and is known for relatively high house prices and a busy town‑centre economy. The mix of heritage architecture, active high‑street life and proximity to the river gives the ward a village‑like feel despite its commuter role, though parts can be affected by flooding at times.
