Walking in Sunderland

Long routes the locals will pay for

Ashbrooke and Roker lead the bookings, and the stretch between Roker and Seaburn is where owners actually want their dogs walked. Coastal routes run longer than a standard suburban loop, which suits walkers who price for the full hour. Fulwell, East Boldon and Tunstall add quieter residential rounds, and university custom keeps term-time weekdays moving.
