About

Herrington & Doxford is a large residential district in southeastern Sunderland, encompassing both established and newer developments. The area is anchored by the extensive Herrington Country Park, a reclaimed former colliery site. This provides a significant green space with walking paths, a large amphitheatre, and views of Penshaw Monument on the adjacent hill. The housing is primarily a mix of private estates and social housing, serving a substantial local population.

The district includes the Doxford International Business Park, a major employment hub on its western fringe with numerous office complexes. Local amenities are focused along the main thoroughfares, with several shopping parades, schools, and community centres serving the neighbourhoods. The area's landscape is notably shaped by its industrial past, with the country park's lakes and mounds directly resulting from the land's restoration after the closure of Herrington Colliery.
