Stillington and Whitton (parish) is a small, mainly rural civil parish in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in the North East of England, centred on the village of Stillington with the smaller hamlet of Whitton. Sitting on the rural fringe of the Tees Valley, it is characterised by arable fields, hedgerows and the odd pocket of woodland, with straightforward road links into Stockton and the wider Teesside employment area.
The area has long agricultural roots and retains a number of traditional stone farmhouses and former farm buildings, alongside a modest village hall and community activities that give it a close‑knit feel. Economically many residents work on local farms or commute into nearby towns; the parish’s quiet lanes, views of the surrounding countryside and proximity to the industrial and riverine heritage of the Tees make it appealing to walkers and those seeking a quieter village life close to urban facilities.
