Whether the sun is cracking the pavements or it is chucking it down with rain, our four-legged friends just love going out for a walk.
Perhaps you like to take the same walking route every day or like to mix it up and head to different parts of the city, we’ve got you covered with some great places you take your furry friend.
Here is a collection of some of the best places in Sunderland where you can walk your dog.
1. Roker Park
Close to the seafront, Roker Park is an ideal place to walk your dog. You can take a stroll around the boating lake or head on down through Roker Ravine towards the seafront. Photo: Stu Norton
2. Penshaw Monument
With picturesque views across the whole city, Penshaw Monument is an ideal spot for walking your dog. Just remember to take it slow, it's a steep hill. Photo: Stu Norton

4. The city's beaches
Why not head to Roker or Seaburn for your daily exercise with your furry friend? It is worth remembering that exclusion zones are in place throughout the summer months so pay attention to the signs that are in place. Photo: Stu Norton
