From the A1 join the A19 just North of Gosforth (Newcastle upon Tyne). Travel through the Tyne tunnel going south, and follow signs to Sunderland. Turn off the A19 onto the A184 and travel through Boldon, still going south towards Sunderland. Having passed the mill garage and windmill on the right hand side turn left at the traffic lights. Follow the road straight down until you come to the sea front. Turn right and about half a mile up the hill on the right hand side is the Roker Hotel.
Alternatively
From Newcastle town centre cross the Tyne bridge going south, but shortly after crossing the bridge take a left turn at the second roundabout which says "Sunderland" A184. Once on the A184 follow signs to Boldon and then follow instructions as above.



From the South - link from multimap.
Follow the A1 north until level with Durham and turn onto A690 (signposted Houghton le Spring). Follow this road until you reach Sunderland town centre. Follow signs for A184 to Newcastle across the Wearmouth bridge. Having crossed the bridge follow the signs for National Glass Centre, Roker and sea front. The hotel will be on your left overlooking the pier.
Alternatively
From the A1 about 15 miles north of Wetherby take the sign for the A19 Teeside. Follow this road past Middlesborough until you come to "Sunderland North" signpost (not Sunderland signpost), then follow A1231 to Roker seafront. The Hotel will be on your left overlooking the pier.



From the West - link from multimap.
Join the A1 at the closes point to you. Follow A1 south to Washington and then follow signs for Sunderland north and then to Roker Seafront, which is half a mile north of the Wearmouth bridge. The hotel is directly on the seafront opposite the pier.
