Training in South Hylton
Rowing on the Wear and martial arts.
South Hylton, once called Hylton Ferry, lies west of the city centre on the south bank of the River Wear. The river is the draw: Sunderland Rowing Club at Riverside Park offers everyone three free learn-to-row sessions, and Depford Boating Club is beside it. On land there's Honto Shin Karate Academy, The Box and Self Defence North East for martial arts, and Leisure United Ford for five-a-side.
South Hylton Pasture, one of the few lowland hay meadows left in Britain, is protected here. Rowing is a crew sport, and plenty of other training works better in pairs too.
