Sunderland Station to Seaham Station
some fantastic views; the best and most scenic way to get to Seaham from Sunderland. A mostly flat coastal walk along the cliffs following the England Coast Path, on well-signed and fairly well-maintained paths, with city streets and an attractive park at the Sunderland end. A steep flight of stairs from North Beach at Seaham if you choose the beach option. Fields on the cliff stretch easily become waterlogged after rain and with patches of mud. Follows the England Coast Path, waymarked at points. A halfway detour to Grangetown services is possible.
Tough: steep ascents. 9km.
The clifftop sections between Ryhope and Seaham run very close to the edge and are very exposed, so take care in high winds; the fields here become waterlogged after rain. Can be muddy.
