About

Oxclose is a residential neighbourhood in the City of Sunderland with a local shopping parade, primary and secondary schools, a community centre and playing fields. Streets are a mix of council and privately owned housing, and a small business park sits on the edge of the area. Public transport links serve the ward, and pockets of managed green space and play areas provide routes for walking and cycling. Local groups run events at the community centre and the school buildings host sports and adult education classes.

Lambton is centred on the Lambton estate and castle, where parkland and managed woodland meet remnants of the area's industrial past, including former colliery sites and pit works. The estate has long links with the Lambton family and local history, and the old ballad of the Lambton Worm remains part of how people talk about the place. Paths across the grounds are used for informal recreation and dog walking, and the estate landscape frames views from nearby lanes rather than offering formal tourist facilities.
