Sutton upon Derwent is a small riverside village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, tucked beside the River Derwent a few miles south‑east of York and within easy reach of Selby. Its compact settlement of traditional cottages, a medieval parish church and farm buildings reflects centuries of agricultural history, while the meadows and floodplain beside the river give it a distinctly rural character.
The village is largely residential now, with farming and small local enterprises still important and many people commuting into York. Community life centres on the village hall and local events, and the river corridor is valued for wildlife, fishing and riverside walks - though the low‑lying position means residents remain mindful of occasional flooding.
