Whinfield

Whinfield

Whinfield is a suburb of Darlington, in the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated to the north of the centre of Darlington. Facilities within the community include a doctors surgery and pharmacy, two local public houses, The Shuttle and Loom and The Springfield, and an Asda supermarket.

Schools within the area include Whinfield Primary School (for students aged 4-11) and The Education Village. The EV is the first of its kind in the world, linking three schools on one site, Haughton Community School (for students aged 11-16), Springfield Primary School (for students aged 3-11) and Beaumont Hill School (for students aged 2-19 with special needs).

Originally several bus routes (by different companies) called in the Whinfield area. However, after the controversial reshuffle of bus routes, Arriva North East routes 6A/6B, 10, 17 and X66 operates to the Town Centre after the re-shuffle of bus timetables in Darlington which abolished the Skerne Park and Firth Moor bus services from Whinfield.

Whinfield was also the home of a child's play park which was recently shut down and demolished.
