You will be close to the football action, but close to Elba Park for great dog walking and the Herrington Country Park with a sculpture trail, hiking and biking routes and a playground. Just a few miles from your new house, there's a petting zoo and playground at Down at The Farm. If you’d prefer a day in the city, head to the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens, or to Newcastle for the Life Science Centre or the Discovery Museum.

All three are university cities with vibrant student populations.

Just off the A690 which links with the A1(M) and the A19 – the area’s two main road routes. From Sunderland, you can use the Tyne and Wear Metro network which operates regular services into Newcastle and also runs a service to Newcastle Airport.
