Your Tees Catchment Partnership
One of the most popular leisure routes that passes through the Borough is the Teesdale Way which for the most part closely follows the course of the River Tees. Darlington Borough Council works with the Your Tees Catchment Partnership, part of the Tees Rivers Trust. The partnership aims to work with a variety of groups and organisations with a common interest in the River Tees. For more information visit the Tees Rivers Trust website [external link]
