Travel by Bike
Rather than walking, you may prefer cycling which is a great way to get around the local area, and there is no limit to how far your bike can take you
Cycling is a zero-carbon form of transport; helps builds muscle and is linked to improved heart and lung capacity. It can also save you time as you filter through the traffic and avoid the queues during the community peak hours.
There is a wide range of destinations within an approximate 30-minute cycle of your new home:
- Sunderland City Centre
- Doxford International Business Park
- Houghton le Spring
- Chester-le-Street
