Sunderland Point

Reviewed By KIKO8785 - Scotland, United Kingdom

I have never seen or known a place like this in the UK. The tide comes in and closes off the road making it an island for a few hours and goes out to give access. A few people live on the point and they are all lovely. I have met a few. When you visit always check the tide times so you are not stuck. There are no cafes on the point.

It was designed by John Rennie and constructed by Alexander Stevens in 1797. The aqueduct consists of five twenty-one-metre (seventy-foot) semi-circular arches.
