Ascend a winding staircase to the summit of Penshaw Hill, where a magnificent 21-meter Victorian folly stands amidst awe-inspiring vistas that stretch across Sunderland and its surrounding countryside. The folly is one of the North East's most prominent landmarks, and can be seen for miles around. Locals are so proud of the monument it even features on the Sunderland Football Club's badge.

The Second Sun sculpture lies on NCN 7 (part of C2C) under Wearmouth Bridge, and is part of the Riverside Sculpture Trail. This sculpture covers the largest area on the riverside. Smaller installations extend along to the coast, and are named after all the planets in the solar system. They're placed proportionately distant from the Second Sun, offering C2C and W2W cyclists and walkers the distance they are from their finish line.

At 136m Penshaw Hill is the highest point in the area and offers amazing views across Sunderland to the coast, north towards Newcastle and west over the River Wear valley. There is a trig point and the Penshaw Monument on the summit. The Penshaw Monument which is also known as the Earl of Durham's monument is owned and managed by the National Trust. Built in 1844-1845 it's a 20m high replica of the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens.

A modern two span cable construction bridge over the River Wear in Sunderland. It was opened in August 2018.
