Discover Stockton-On-Tees

Stockton-On-Tees can be explored particularly vividly via Stockton High Street and Stockton Waterfront Urban Park. Here, urban impressions, a large-scale moving artwork and a park landscape with a diverse range of plants come together. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or other accommodation for your trip, you can therefore first consider whether your stay should focus more on discovering the town, art and market life, or on walks by the water.

Stockton High Street as a starting point for culture

Shambles Market Hall is located in the centre of Stockton High Street. This makes it a specific point of orientation for anyone wishing to begin their stay with a visit to the town centre. Market Cross also occupies a prominent position on Stockton High Street. Both places offer different points of reference on the street: the Market Hall represents the market area, while Market Cross can be perceived as a distinctive element of the streetscape.

Stockton Flyer is also located on Stockton High Street. It is a large-scale moving artwork inspired by the heritage of the Borough. Stockton Flyer was introduced in June 2016 and is also an attraction on Stockton High Street. This creates a clear cultural choice for planning your day: you can include the market, urban space and artwork in your plans without limiting your stay to just one type of experience.

Park landscape between the High Street and the river

Stockton Waterfront Urban Park is located in the town centre of Stockton and connects the High Street with the river. Its design is characterised by a great diversity of plants: the park contains more than 17,000 plants, including 224 species and 153 trees. These figures make the park a focus of the trip in its own right, rather than merely a brief addition to a town visit.

If you are looking for a change between urban impressions and landscape, you can plan Stockton Waterfront Urban Park as a contrast to the High Street. The Bridges and Barrage Walk is one of the walking and hiking routes that start from the park. This allows a stay to be organised in different ways: on the one hand, there are the market, art and distinctive points of the High Street; on the other, a richly planted park and walking routes.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans

When choosing a holiday apartment in Stockton-On-Tees, it helps to decide on your preferred daily routine in advance. Anyone who primarily wants to include Shambles Market Hall, Market Cross and Stockton Flyer can base their search on a stay with a strong urban and cultural focus. Those who enjoy incorporating walking routes into their day, on the other hand, can treat Stockton Waterfront Urban Park and the Bridges and Barrage Walk as important parts of their plans.

For further orientation, you can also include the pages on Yarm, Wolviston, Longnewton and Thornaby On Tees. For Stockton-On-Tees itself, a travel plan that combines the special features of the High Street with the riverside park landscape is particularly suitable.
