About

The Newbottle & Penshaw area sits in the eastern part of the City of Sunderland, comprising residential villages and open land. Newbottle is a former mining village with a central green, while Penshaw is known for its prominent hill. The landscape is characterised by the Wear lowlands and the steep rise of Penshaw Hill. Housing includes a mix of inter-war and post-war estates, alongside older terraced homes.

The area is dominated by the Penshaw Monument, a large Greek-style folly atop the hill visible for miles.

The River Wear flows to the north, with the Herrington Country Park providing green space on the site of a former colliery. The area is connected by several major roads, including the A182 and A183.
