Sunderland, United Kingdom

Among the very few places I traveled here in UK, Sunderland is the place which I liked after Cornwall. Cornwall is vast and famous for it's rocky beaches, but Sunderland got a beautiful stretch of sandy beach with high tide during night hitting the city walls on shore.

Historically a part of Durham County, Sunderland lies in the North-East of England on the mouth of river Wear. It emerged as a small fishing village in the Tenth Century and grew as a port. People from this beautiful city are commonly known as 'Mackem'.

Some photographs to explain the place better...
