High Southwick Tyne and Wear Map

About High Southwick

High Southwick breathes a quiet air of settled habitation, a place where the land remembers the hands that have worked it. It lies 2.7 km north-north-west of Sunderland (from Sunderland: bearing 342°T, OS grid NZ 387 591), and is situated south-west of South Bents village. The gentle slopes here seem to hold the morning mist a little longer, lending a soft, diffused light that softens the edges of the brick-built homes and the well-tended gardens. The very ground underfoot, a rich loam, speaks of generations of cultivation, of fields that have yielded their bounty under a wide North East sky. Though no grand monuments define its skyline, the unassuming charm of High Southwick is found in its sturdy dwellings and the quiet sense of community that persists. The air, carrying a faint hint of the North Sea’s distant tang, whispers of the enduring character of this corner of Tyne and Wear.
