Riffle in the River Skerne The River Skerne, here seen flowing towards central Darlington, passing through meadows in Haughton Le Skerne, has been the subject of much environmental improvement, especially downstream, where it used to be heavily polluted. The water here is relatively clean for an industrial area, and wild flowers populate the banks as it traverses the suburbs.
