About Pallion
Where to stay in Pallion
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Rooms in Pallion belong to Sunderland's wider stock rather than to a quarter of its own. The district's fixed points are its churches, Church of St Mark, Church of St Joseph, and Church of St Luke, and a stay near any of them puts the rest of the city within an ordinary local journey. Bishopwearmouth Cemetery marks the other edge.
