- We visit SUNDERLAND and find that YOU HAVE to MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT | TOURIST VIDEO UK 🇬🇧
When Jane said we have to make a Football Tourist Guide to Sunderland you are going to love it. I have found so much to do. OI have planned a great itinerary so we are staying over to fit it all in. I have to admit my initial reaction was Sunderland? are you sure? But boy did I enjoy this one.
There was so much that I filmed I struggled to get it edited and up on UA-cam within a week or so and it got put on the back burner and then I was getting so down with Blackpool going down without a fight and Mick McCarthy football that I completely burned out with the Football Tourist Guides altogether and couldn't face making them anymore.
It was almost like a complete and utter 'writers block' and it is only now that I could face working on this. This is the FIRST of what I am thinking of as my "LOST FOOTBALL TOURIST GUIDES" from last season, there are some more to come so make sure you have the notification bell on to alert you to when I have posted up a new one.
I think that I have been able to start editing these again and have gotten my mojo back because the football has been slowly getting better this season and Blackpool are pushing for a playoff place so my mental state of mind can face the work involved in putting these together once more.
Hope you enjoy this and thanks to all of you that watch these you really mean a lot to us

What a wonderful advert for Sunderland. A fabulous video! Thank you!
sun'land's a schnithole, I want to go home!
Sunderland is alright, not as bad as people say it is.
Yes the centre is lacking a little but i seen loads of regeneration going on when i was there.
They have lots of landmarks , more than newcastle has, which i was suprised about as you only ever see newcastle bridge on tv from up there.
Also sunderland has a top level seafront which i did not know they had, with bars and restaurants and it was very clean.
Yes we were not expecting it to be as good as it was. It was a fabulous surprise and I agree with all that you mention thanks. Sunderland? who knew? 😁
@@TheFootballTouristGuide yes i know hahah.
I will be going bavk in the summer to enjoy the coastline
What a cracking little advert for my hometown. So nice to see tourists enjoying themselves here 😊
Hi Grant
Glad you enjoyed watching our trip, we loved it, had a great time and met some lovely people too 🙂🍊🧡
Fantastic, what a lovely City.
Glad you enjoyed the video it's well worth a visit 🙂👍🏻
Sunderland = God's Country :)
Yep we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, highly recommend it to visiting fans, great place and lovely people 😊🧡
😆😂🤣 If God is a mackem why did he create Wearside Jack?
Best pier in the world Roker, we also have car and bus rallies in the summer at Seaburn, and hopefully going to have our own 'Elstree studio' making blockbuster films. cannonball rock only place you can find it in Seaburn. had you came in the 1970's we were as big as Blackpool, Arnold out of the terminator films was actually at Seaburn fair at that time ! the tardis originated from Sunderland as well. the first timelord assistant actor was from Sunderland. you can go under the pier through a tunnel as well, biggest shipyard in the world 1950's, longest metal bridge at the time (Alexander) oldest mine in the world Wearmouth colliery.
All great facts thank you. I have to say I wasn't expecting Sunderland to be as good as it was but ended up absolutely loving the couple of day there. Hopefully one day Blackpool will get back up and we can visit again just hope it doesn't take another 30 years like it did from 1976 -2006 🙏🏻
Sunderland sounds like a great city to visit.
Yes we had a great time there. It was quite the surprise 🙂👍🏻
As a Newcastle Bred and Born would allways say Vaux double maxim.was better the Newcastle Brown ale loved the stuff!
I only know Vaux because they used to be Blackpools shirt sponsor back in the day but it's great to hear they produced a great beer. Jane is an award winning beer writer and if you enjoy reading you may enjoy reading her blog of our trip which can be found on her website www.janestuart.co.uk 🙂
Double Maxim was a softer more mellow flavourful, I support Sunderland but liked Newkie Brown as it was fuzzy and more astringent
Sunderland: the greatest team, greatest people, greatest beach and greatest city in England, that is to say, the world.
We really enjoyed our little visit 🙂
15 years away from the area, now in New Zealand. Great video, some big changes since moving. Still a big lads fan, STID
Glad to hear you got to see it Steve, hope it didn't make you feel too homesick although I can imagine life out in New Zealand is pretty good 🙂👍🏼
Thank you for visiting our city. . I live just along road from penshaw. Outstanding place and views.
It was our pleasure Dave, it's a great city with friendly people, the monument was a real highlight, glad you enjoyed the video 🙂👍🏼
Penshaw Hill was also an Iron Age Hill Fort.
Thanks for that we didn't know, it was very impressive I have to say. We really enjoyed our visit 😊
Really enjoyed that, brought back childhood memories of walking up to Penshaw from the footpathless other side of the hill.
Penshaw monument used to have a staircase in one corner which you could use to go on the top part.
This was closed before my time after a fatal accident.
Thank you for showing some great places in my city, your really good and glad you enjoyed it
Hi Peter thanks for the comment really appreciate hopefully one day we can visit again
Really enjoyed this video of Sunderland. I am a southern Sunlun supporter and I tell my friends how nice it is, but I think they believe me!
I have subscribed to your channel.
Hi Viv I hope that they definitely will believe you if they ever get to watch this video🙂 we loved our trip to 'Sunlun' Thanks for the sub we really appreciate it🧡
love the concept of your channel!
Thank you I'm really glad to hear that. We have had a lot of fun making these so far, we have made some great memories and hey if the football spoils it, as is quite often the case with Blackpool 🤣 it doesn't ruin the weekend quite so much. We hope that these come in handy for anyone who enjoys making a weekend of an away day like we do. There's a few more still in the pipeline and I'm hoping these are better understood by UA-cam than on my other channel 🤞🙏
Great vid and glad your channel was suggested for me. I am from Sunderland and really enjoyed this. Subscribed 👌🏻
Hi Campervanagram (love that name btw) I'm glad you enjoyed it as we had a wonderful time whilst we were there so I am happy it comes across. Thanks for the sub and if you ever fancy making an away trip into a long weekend/mini break I see that you have Huddersfield, Birmingham, Southampton, Cardiff and West Brom all coming up over the next few months and we have filmed Football Tourist Guides for all of those so feel free to check them out 🙂👍🏼
Wonderful vlog thank you for visiting Sunderland
Glad you enjoyed it Timbo thanks for the nice comment really appreciate it 😊🧡
Excellent video. Thank you for posting.
Thanks so much Ian, thank you for watching really appreciate the comment glad you enjoyed the video 🙂🧡
Great video showcases our region brilliantly
Thanks so much 1Arty glad you enjoyed it we had a wonderful time hopefully one day Blackpool will get back up and we get to stay again (although we know as much as you that isn't as easy as people think🙁)
I live a few streets back from the hotel you were staying in. You can regularly see dolphin along our coast but unfortunately, during the last few big storms, the pier took some major damage and is closed for up to 18 months now. Great video and thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.
Yes Jane was very disappointed we didn't see any maybe next time. That's sad to hear about the pier I hope they do a good job repairing it 🙏
I live very near, never been to the aircraft museum, the fans museum, the fire station, the brewery thanks for the look around ! You missed out on Marsden Grotto and canny South Shields though.
Hi Paul if we ever get back up from League 1 (you guys know only too well how hard that is!) and we get a chance to visit again we will make sure to fit those in, thanks for the heads up 🙂👍🏼
Sorry you have to live there my sympathy goes out to you
🤣North East is a great area !@@garymcburnie8323
It most certainly is 🙂👍🏻
I live in Plymouth, Sunderland is one of the most similar cities to Plymouth I've been to in Britain, even though they are some distance apart.... Sunderland even has the pebble dash estates clinging to hills! It has a very interesting waterfront as well though..
We missed out on Plymouth as you guys went up and we sadly got relegated. It's one we will definitely do whenever we get to play you again 🙂👍🏻
what a lovely couple you are, you showed stuff even i didnt know. Great video.
Thanks for the comment really appreciate that and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video we loved our visit and hopefully one day we will be back (that's if we don't get stuck down in League 1 and 2 for another 30 years!)
Great Vid, STID
Thanks Philip 🙂👍🏼
That was very interesting looks a good place to visit. I have been many times to Bloomfield road a great old ground. Good luck with channel. I have subscribed to see what else you get up to.
Hi Louise, thank you very much really appreciate the comment, there will be lots more coming in the future, I have a few to finish from last season and Exeter from this, it all kind of ground to halt as the football was really getting me down last season. However, I am back on it again and we will be filming some new ones so definitely click the notification bell so you know when I post another one up In the mean time there are quite a lot of our trips here so feel free to watch any of them we have had a lot of fun making them so we hope you enjoy taking a look 🙂🍊
You either love or hate Blackpool...I love it, so many memories that link the NE, Ireland to b and b..I was first there in 1966 was a dog for a pet or Blackpool, next time when Dennis Sowell, not looked it up. P olicemans murder, then with my mates...Fanny magnet...then with my wife, then the usual following Sunderland...and fish and chip supper
@@cesirwin1973 so many people came to Blackpool on holiday with their parents and have fond memories and people from the North whether it is East or West are generally more friendly and approachable than those from the South. Blackpool was built on entertainment but over the years the powers that be (the various councils) have appeared clueless to develop the tourism attractions and do the things to modernise new with the old. Losing the casino bid destroyed all the plans and it is only now that progress on new hotels and attractions is starting to happen. Still much to do to improve things but if you can't let your hair down and have a fun time here I'm not sure you would have one anywhere
Really loved this look at my home city. We always drink in Vaux before the match so it was great to see where the magic happens in the brewery itself.
Thanks Davey glad you enjoyed the video and I agree it was fascinating for me as well to have a little look behind the scenes of the brewery. It was very cool 😎 please let them know you saw the video next time you go in because I filmed this back in Oct 2022 and I was getting so down with vlogging Blackpool getting relegated I was very close to quitting altogether and I'm so sorry I didn't get this out for them so much quicker. I imagine it's that long ago that they have forgotten all about it but they were wonderful and I'm so pleased I've now finally managed to be able to complete this video for them and also for you all to see how wonderful we found Sunderland to be 🙂🧡
@@TheFootballTouristGuide I'll be in there on Saturday so I'll let them know 👍
Fabulous really appreciate that Davey. Say hi for us and tell them one day we will be back
just caught up Lee with this new channel and immediate subscribed sunderland?you both were only half hour from my home wow, great video all familiar places as you can imagine.
Oh hi Paul 👋 I'm glad you found it I'm hoping this new channel helps the videos get more easily discovered as a lot of time and effort goes in to making these and I was getting increasingly frustrated that they were lost under all the match vlogs over there. It's a lovely part of the world Paul we have really enjoyed our trips to the North East 🙂👍🏻
"Stay Frosty" 🤣
Haha indeed SCL 🤣
Nice vlog. Also good 2 c all the black and white knuckle draggers commenting on this, obsessed 😂
Thanks David glad you enjoyed it. There's always going to be rival banter but we are doing this to try and show how nice places are, that most football fans are normal people just like you and me. We all go through basically the same roller coaster with the odd high but mostly frustration and disappointment but we all love our clubs and we hope that by showing the good things we will encourage more fans to visit and get to know more about the places and the people there so maybe we all just get along a little better 🙏
Interesting to get a view from out of towners and thanks for the visit, enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan thanks for the comment really appreciate it 🙂👍🏼
Lived in Washington all my life and only went to the Air Museum last year. I'm 31. 😂
We don't often go to the tower and the pleasure beach so I get it, it is funny how we don't do things that are right on our doorstep. Have to say it is a very good museum with a lot packed into it and planes are always impressive 🙂👍🏼
Very enjoyable,pity about the dolphins but they only visit during the summer when the sea temperature rises
Yes we will have to time it better next time (that is if we ever get back up from dreaded league 1😕)
Great video I’m a roker lad good seeing visitors enjoy my home town. Welcome anytime.
Hi Michael thanks for the comment we would be more than happy to visit again but it took us 30 years from our relegation in 1976 to get back up so we know how hard it is
It was a very good football tourist guide yesterday chilling out and looking around visiting Sunderland lee and jane
Hi Eugene 👋
Thanks for that , I've been past the air museum plenty of times and never given it a second glance , looks like it's on my to do list , the town has really come on over the last few years , great video !
Hi Jon, it's just one of those things that we all do I hope you really enjoy it when you go. There is something very cool about planes, tanks too but Blackpool trams? awesome 😊
I had never been before so had nothing to compare but I really enjoyed Sunderland Im glad to hear that it has come on. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video thanks for the comment 😊👍🏻
Pleased you enjoyed my home town but I haven't even been to the end of the pier. I am glad you got yourself a pink slice but did you have any peace pudding and ham stottie sandwiches?
No we didn't but we will add it to the list if ever there's a next time but it's looking highly unlikely we will get in to the playoffs this season 🙁
Very good video. Shame the dolphins didn’t put an appearance in on your visit. It can be quite funny watching them follow the open water swimmers and paddle boarders.
Hi Rob, Jane was so disappointed that we couldn't see the dolphins after she found out they were there we saved it as the very last thing before we left. maybe next time we visit (that's if we ever get back up)
I walk my dog on Roker Beach (which you were looking over from the North Pier)most days and see them on a reasonably regular basis. Accepting they are wild animals and at best unpredictable, I find the best time to see them is during the summer months in the mornings. If you are lucky once they have fed they can put on ‘sea world’ type displays. Sure there must be some videos on UA-cam to give you a flavour of their behaviour/high jinks!
Yes, just checked…..try ‘Roker Dolphins’
I will check it out and I will send the link over to Jane honestly she was so disappointed 😕
its ok I guess living in any place you don't notice places to go everyone is too much in a rush
yes totally agree Aprilmixer people often think that living in Blackpool we will be off to the Pleasure Beach and the Sandcastle water park, playing the machines on the Golden Mile, walking on the beach all the time when in reality I hardly ever do any of those things
@@TheFootballTouristGuide yep it's funny
Coastal city but Town(city centre) a shadow of its former self.
Hope it gets back to former glories it's the first time I've been but Jane and I find the North East in particular a lovely place to visit with some of the nicest people you could have the pleasure to meet 🙂🧡
It's improving though to be fair, it's a lot better than it was 10 years ago.
Maybe your back already ,but wonder if you made it to south shields ,while you were up there not far away ,and a decent night out few yrs ago lived there ,with ex girlfriend anyway nice one mate .
That was last season Mick I just couldn't face making these last season the relegation really hurt me
@@TheFootballTouristGuide ok mate fair enough and yes relegation was a very bitter pill ,and at the time especially as we thought our owner was a true blackpool fan ,again I saw a Burnley piece of news show up ,they have one owner also but I envy them ,he s sat there in with the crowd with a football shirt on ,and baseball cap with him I've probably said a proper owner ,he spends no problem when they came down other season ,42 million on players think about it similar size club obviously that's prem money ,but just ask yourself would saddler ever spend that amount lol ,always hurts when I see were dingles are and the prescum with blackburn ,who are were they should be championship were the missing Lancashire side should be us ,
@@TheFootballTouristGuide never watched to see if you went to the monument ,think it's a roman building just outside Sunland on a hill ,it's on there football crest I used to go with ex and her grandkids ,nice views bit of exercise and around old history .
This channel is my escape from Blackpool Football Club thanks Mick
The idea is to watch the videos Mick😉😕
You're better off spending your pre- post-match time in Newcastle - so much more on offer
If we ever get to play Newcastle we most definitely will 😊👍🏻
Well coming from Blackpool you will like Scumderland lol. Two run down citys . Stopped going to Blackpool very dangerous place . Hope we get you in the cup at the Toon. You would never go back to Mackem land .lol 😊😅😅😅
How is Sunderland run down ? Ever been to Benwell, Longbenton and Biker lol
Another obsessed mag on a Sunderland video - still living rent free in the Saudi gobbling heads
We look for the joy Graham when we make these videos to show other travelling fans some great things to do, eat, drink and stay, life's too short to not see the beauty in it. Blackpool a dangerous place? 🤣😂
Would not like to say you are ignorant, but how long as Blackpool been a city?
@@peterramsey8058 He can't even spell cities correctly lol
Should have gone the extra 13 miles north to a proper city 😊
Grow up sad Mag
A proper city with no beach?
Only chance of that is if we draw you in a cup game can't see us getting back in the PL anytime soon
13 miles north gets you to Cullercoats!!
@@SMLinsley Which isn't in Newcastle
Plastic City.
