Sunderland is a city at the centre of the City of Sunderland metropolitan borough, in Tyne and Wear, North East England, 10 miles southeast of Newcastle upon Tyne, 12 miles northeast of Durham, 101 miles southeast of Edinburgh and 240 miles north of London.

There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Roker & Seaburn Beaches, examine the collection at National Glass Centre, look for all kinds of wild species at National Centre for Birds of Prey, and take in the pleasant sights at Malham Cove.
