About Sunderland- Sunderland is a city with a difference - a modern, bustling centre that is balanced with a relaxing green environment, stunning coastal scenery and a refreshing attitude to life. Sunderland is set right on the mouth of the River Wear next to a beautiful coastline and surrounded by easily accessible countryside.
Shopping - The retail heart of the city is The Bridges Shopping Centre, where over 100 top name high street stores jostle for position along the bright and airy walkways. There are also Victorian streets off the city centre, where independent shops and boutiques offer everything from designer labels to trendy interiors.

Eye-catching pieces of jewellery, glassware and ceramics are also a Sunderland speciality, with craft and gift shops at the museums and galleries featuring the works of up and coming designer-makers.
Things to do - Sunderland has some spectacular coastal walks to suit all ages and energy levels. The sands of the city’s beaches at Roker and Seaburn are the perfect place for walking and jogging, or you can join the increasing numbers of surfers looking for the perfect wave. Sunderland is booming with city nightlife after many years of living under the shadow of Newcastle. It has been recognised by NME magazine as "the new Manchester"!
