Sutton-on-Trent
Sutton on Trent’s name gives it away. It’s a large welcoming village with walks along the River Trent on its doorstep. There’s plenty of green space in and surrounding the village and you can even see the spire of Lincoln cathedral across the fields as the crow flies.
The village is right in the centre of a group of four local destinations for work and leisure; Newark-on-Trent, Mansfield, Worksop and Lincoln, giving you plenty of options from your new home.
