About

Ryhope ward lies in the southern part of the City of Sunderland, bordering the North Sea coastline. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to more modern developments.

The landscape is marked by the wooded denes leading to the coast and the historical Ryhope Pumping Station, a preserved Victorian engine house. Agricultural land and the former colliery site shape its western edges. The area provides direct access to several miles of coastal paths along limestone cliffs and rocky shores.
