Sutton upon Derwent is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England, set on the western bank of the River Derwent about eight miles south‑east of York. Its low‑lying, fertile floodplain gives a distinctly rural character, with arable farming dominating the surrounding landscape and easy road links to nearby market towns.
The settlement has ancient roots with a parish church and a handful of older, listed buildings, and tends to feel like a close‑knit community with local events and voluntary groups rather than a centre of industry. The River Derwent and nearby countryside draw walkers and birdwatchers, while many residents commute to York and other towns for work and services.
