Dalton-on-Tees is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, near the boundary with County Durham. According to the 2001 Census there were 318 people living in the parish (including Eryholme) in 120 houses.[2] The population had decreased to 303 by the time of the 2011 Census.[1]
The village is bypassed by the A167 road between Darlington and Northallerton and is 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south of the village of Croft-on-Tees and 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of the motor racing circuit Croft Circuit.[3] There are signs at both the north and south entrances to the village indicating that the village is 11+1⁄4 miles (18.1 km) from Northallerton and 4+3⁄4 miles (7.6 km) from Darlington even though they are 1⁄4 mile (0.4 km) apart. To the east the village overlooks a meander of the River Tees, from which it derives its name: the town (tun) in the valley (or dæl [dale]).[4]
The village has a pub, the Chequers Inn,[5] overlooking the village green, and a small village hall on the other side of the bypass just along West Lane. The village green is the site of the village pump (now defunct) which stands under a sprawling chestnut tree. There are a number of signed streets in the village, namely, Ruskin Close, Byron Court, Garth Terrace, Orchard Close and West Lane, and a number of unsigned roads and lanes, including The Green and the Old Road. The parish had 133 properties at the 2011 Census[1] but new estates have been built in the village since then.
Dalton-on-Tees is served by the number 72 public bus between Darlington and Northallerton[6] and on school days the number 466R between Croft-on-Tees and Richmond School.
The village has a series of moats, identified as a fishpond complex dating back to Medieval times.[7]
