Roker Pier and Lighthouse Tours — Attraction in Sunderland

Just been on the full tour .Wow I thought it was fantastic . Everything about it I loved. Walking through the tunnel it was just fascinating . The tour guides were very knowledgeable and so friendly . They put you at ease if anybody was worried about the walk through the tunnel . I really think they are a huge asset they were so compassionate about Sunderland and the lighthouse and they are volunteers.
