Redworth is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Heighington in the borough of Darlington and the ceremonial county of Durham, England. It is west of Newton Aycliffe being situated between Darlington and Shildon.
The name Redworth originates from the words Reed Worth, as the area was a large marsh.
Redworth is home to Barcelo Redworth Hall, a 4 star hotel, which has been visited by many famous figures, including the England football team. Redworth Wood is filled with protected trees, and even a Stone Age fort, which has been pictured in the Northern Echo.
