Sunderland has gardens you won't find anywhere else in the region, like the yards behind its single-storey terraced cottages, alongside Ashbrooke's Victorian villas, seafront terraces at Roker and Seaburn, and newer estates in the south-west of the city.
Sunderland cottages
Sunderland is known for its single-storey terraced cottages, built in long rows in Millfield, Pallion, Southwick and elsewhere. Behind them are small yards, often with a back lane. They make lovely little lawns, and the access is usually through the lane.

Villas and seafront terraces
Ashbrooke and Thornhill have large Victorian villas and terraces with long gardens and mature trees. Near the coast, Roker and Seaburn have Edwardian terraces with front gardens facing the sea air, and Fulwell has plenty of 1930s semis with front and back lawns.
Doxford Park and the newer south-west
The estates around Doxford Park, Silksworth and Tunstall were mostly built from the 1980s onwards, with open-plan front lawns and fenced back gardens. The newest homes have the familiar new-build ground of thin topsoil over clay; see new-build gardens.
