Sunderland, England an amazing place to visit in England. If you want to know top 10 what to do in Sunderland or you need a travel guide, please keep watching.
Number 5. North East Land, Sea and Air Museums
At the former RAF Unsworth on the way to Washington, this transport museum is mostly about the history of flight.
Special attention is paid to the early years of jet aviation, and there’s a serious collection of British-made planes like an Avro Vulcan, a Gloster Meteor, a Hawker Hunter, a De Havilland Comet and a De Havilland Vampire, as well as American and French models like a Lockheed T-33A, an F-86D Sabre and a Dassault Mystère IV. You’ll have lots of engines to check out, and a host of military land vehicles like armoured personnel carriers, tanks and trucks.
Number 4. St Peter’s Church, Monkwearmouth
The history of this fascinating church by the Wear and University of Sunderland campus goes back to 675 when it was founded by Benedict Biscop as a priory, making it one of the oldest stone churches in the country.
What is very rare is just how much of that first building remains, and you can see it in the porch, west wall and fragments of stone carvings.
The green space surrounding the church has recently been landscaped to illustrate the size of the complex in Benedict Biscop’s day.
The Venerable Bede, often cited as “The Father of English History”, lived and studied here from the late 7th century.
Number 3. Penshaw Monument
Above the Herrington Country Park in Houghton le Spring there’s a striking folly atop Penshaw Hill, looking like a Greek temple has been transplanted to Wearside.
Built from local gritstone, the Penshaw Monument dates from 1844 and commemorates John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, the Whig statesman who had an important role in the British colonisation of New Zealand.
At 30 metres long and 20 metres high, this National Trust property has the scale and detail of a Classical temple, with Doric columns, an architrave, a frieze, a cornice and a pediment.
One of the pillars conceals a spiral stairway to access a scenic viewing platform, open from Easter to the end of September.
Number 2. Mowbray Park
Among the North East of England’s oldest urban parks, Mowbray Park is right in the city centre, behind the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens.
The park opened in 1857 but had been in the pipeline for more than 20 years after the city realised it needed more green space following a cholera epidemic in 1831. As you wander over the little hillocks around Mowbray Park you may be interested to know that these bumps were caused by forgotten limestone quarries.
The park was the showpiece for the city centre’s regeneration in the 1990s and has fine monuments like the cast-iron William Hall Drinking Fountain from 1878 and a bandstand giving concerts that people watch on deckchairs.
Number 1. Ryhope Engines Museum
Founded in 1868, the Ryhope Pumping Station, in the suburb of the same name, functioned for a century before finally shutting down in 1967. The site is still owned by Northumbrian Water and still houses its pair of awesome Hawthorn beam engines, which have just celebrated their 150th anniversary.
The station no longer pumps water but those engines are in working order, and you can come and see them on Sundays, along with a set of smaller engines, three boilers from 1908, a waterwheel and a blacksmith’s forge.
There are also special “Steaming Weekends” five times a year when you’ll get to watch the engines and their 18-ton flywheels in motion.

There are few cities in the world that can compare to Jerusalem in terms of ancient history and religious significance. It’s one of the most fascinating cities in the world, and it’s a city that I’ve wanted to visit my entire life. Finally, along with my friend David ( and Rafram, we explored Jerusalem to discover the food treasures the city has to offer - and let me tell you, you’ll find some incredibly delicious food in Jerusalem!
We started off the Jerusalem food tour by first walking around East Jerusalem and starting with the best plate of hummus I’ve ever had. We then toured around Old Jerusalem, and enjoyed some incredible Palestinian food kebabs cooked by an incredible man who cooked with serious love and passion. Another highlight in Jerusalem was the mutabak, a thin pastry stuffed with cheese and baked.
After eating our way through Old Jerusalem, we then headed into West Jerusalem and went to lunch at an Israeli Jewish restaurant serving a mix of amazing dishes. The food was home-cooked in style, and absolutely sensation. A few more snacks and sightseeing throughout the afternoon, and that brought us all the way to dinner where David had made reservations to eat at one of the hottest restaurants in Jerusalem, Machneyuda Restaurant. It was quite an experience, and an amazing meal and lively atmosphere to wrap up this ultimate Jerusalem food tour.
Here’s all the food and places included in this Palestinian food and Israeli food tour of Jerusalem:
Hummus Acramawi
Price - 20 ILS ($5.57) per plate
Almond juice - 3.90 ILS ($1.09)
Al-shuala Grill Restaurant

It was a lot of food in a single day, but it was one of the greatest food and learning days that I’ve ever had in my life. The generosity of the people we connected with, paired with the food, was truly a memorable experience in Jerusalem.
Thank you again to David ( and Rafram for showing me some of the best food in Jerusalem!

Rohm and Haas - Old Jarrow Site 2018.
England 2019 Episode 17: Jarrow
In Jarrow are the ruins of St Paul’s Monastery, the actual monastery where the Venerable Bede lived and worked. The ruined monastery walls are mostly medieval (11th - 14th c.) but portions of the adjoining church were actually part of the original 7th c. Anglo-Saxon monastery. For example, in the first view of the church building, the tiny windows on the right side are part of the Anglo-Saxon structure. Bede is best known for his “Ecclesiastical History of the English People,” a source vital to our understanding of early English history and the conversion of the Anglo-Saxon tribes to Christianity.
Nearby, Jarrow Hall is a small reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village plus a museum on Bede and his times. The exhibition explains the importance of farming to the Anglo-Saxon community 1300 years ago, and includes rare, period-correct breeds such as curly-coated pigs, Dexter bullocks, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens and more.
The village includes several replica wattle-and-daub and timber-frame buildings based on actual excavated Anglo-Saxon structures in the region. The thatched triangular Grubenhaus served multiple functions including grain storage and sleeping accommodations. The larger Anglo-Saxon Hall represents the main space where everyone gathered for feasts and meetings. The Monastic Workshop is the small square hut used for study and prayer.
The Bede Museum includes 7th - 8th c. colored glass, stonework, and other artifacts, along with exhibits on the beginnings of the Anglo-Saxon period and the life of the Venerable Bede.
Outside, there was even a children's play area with a viking ship that one particularly big kid seemed to enjoy.

River Tyne at Jarrow
Here we can see the River Tyne at Jarrow as filmed from Bede's World - the museum of the former monastery that stood on this site.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland.
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the site gives a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
One of the Oldest Church in United Kingdom
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Monkwearmouth–Jarrow, known simply as Monkwearmouth–Jarrow Abbey, was a Benedictine double monastery in the Kingdom of Northumbria, England.
Its first house was St Peter's, Monkwearmouth, on the River Wear, founded in AD 674–5. It became a double house with the foundation of St Paul's, Jarrow, on the River Tyne in 684–5. Both Monkwearmouth (in modern-day Sunderland) and Jarrow are now in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. The abbey became the centre of Anglo-Saxon learning, producing the greatest Anglo-Saxon scholar, Bede.
Both houses were sacked by Viking raiders and in the 9th century, the abbey was abandoned. After the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century, there was a brief attempt to revive it. Early in the 14th century, the two houses were refounded as cells of Durham Priory. In 1536 they were surrendered to the Crown and dissolved.

Whaley Bridge Town Walk, English Countryside 4K

All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!
No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside. A nice gentle walk around Whaley Bridge Town, Derbyshire. This Town isn't too far from my home Town of New Mills, and so is a place very familiar to me. It was a joy to capture it in peak Autumn, all the trees are so vibrantly coloured. In 2019 Whaley was in the news when the dam of the near by Toddbrook reservoir threatened to break. It effected many of my friends and family whom had to evacuate.

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!
I upload every Sunday 11.45am GMT (3.45am PST) (6.45am EST) (5.15pm IST) (9.15pm ACST)

ALONG THE RIVER TYNE, PART 3. Customs House, South Shields to Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel (SOUTH TYNE)
CUSTOMS HOUSE, SOUTH SHIELDS.
The Customs House is an arts venue in South Shields, South Tyneside, North East England. It is the only non-amateur theatre in the borough, the local arts development agency, the largest gallery and, until recently, the only cinema.
A customs house was first established in South Shields in 1848. The current building at Mill Dam was constructed in 1863. Meanwhile South Shields was declared a separate customs port (i.e. no longer part of the Port of Tyne for customs purposes) in 1865. The building was extended to the rear to provide local offices for the Merchant Navy in 1878.
The Customs House was acquired by the Tyne and Wear Development Corporation, along with the adjoining Daltons Lane warehouses, as part of the redevelopment plans, and the Customs House itself was converted into an arts and entertainment centre in 1994.
MIDDLE DOCKS.
The former Middle Docks were a complex of ship building and repair docks and dry docks in South Shields, where located between the larger Readhead's and Brigham's ship yards. Middle Docks were first documented in 1776, but there were earlier docks on the site. The docks expanded on the site of former salt pans. There were a number of owners over the years. In the mid-19th century two docks here were joined into one business as the Middle Dock Co. Following the sale of the business, Middle Docks and Engineering Co. were registered on the 5th of February 1900. In 1961 the company employed 1,100 people and were recorded as engineers and repairers of hulls, machinery and boilers of all types of Naval and merchant shipping. The Middle Docks were no longer used from the late 1990's.
TYNE DOCK.
Tyne Dock is a neighbourhood within the town of South Shields, North East England, on the south bank of the River Tyne. It takes its name from the large dock on the river which was opened in 1859 by the North Eastern Railway (and acquired by the Tyne Improvement Commission in 1938) to handle Tyneside's coal exports. At its height the trade amounted to seven million tons of coal transported via the four Staiths which had been built to facilitate the process. This trade declined in the second half of the twentieth century and the bridges that carried the coal trains into the dock, the famous Tyne Dock Arches, were demolished in the early 1980s. The dock itself has been progressively infilled since closure, allowing for the building of modern storage warehouses. This process concluded with the final 13 acres that were filled in as part of the project to build the second Tyne Tunnel. The Tyne Dock basin was filled with 400,000 cubic metres of sediment dredged from the Tyne.
JARROW SLAKE.
Jarrow Slake was a large area of mudflats which would fill up and drain according to the level of the River Tyne. Industry sprouted along the Slake, with historical ordnance survey maps showing timbre ponds in the spot where the below photograph was taken just before the River Don’s confluence with the Tyne. The mostly Scandinavian wood was seasoned and matured in the ponds became highly sought after around the world. In 1972 local authorities and the Port of Tyne began filling a large portion of Jarrow Slake...
TYNE CYCLIST & PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL.
Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel was Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnel. It runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnel was used by 20,000 people a day. It consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) diameter, and a larger 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 60 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.
At each end, the tunnels are connected to surface buildings by two escalators and a lift. The Waygood-Otis escalators have 306 wooden steps each, and are the original models from 1951.[1] At the time of construction, they were the highest single-rise escalators in the UK, with a vertical rise of 85 feet (26 m) and a length of 197 feet (60 m). In 1992, escalators with a higher vertical rise of 90 feet (27.4 m) and 200 feet (61 m) in length were constructed at Angel station on the London Underground. The Tyne Tunnel escalators remain the longest wooden escalators in the world.
20,000 people a month used the pedestrian tunnel in 2013.
