Sutton Bridge is a small town with a swing bridge dating from 1897, one of the few of its kind, built by the Midland and Great Northern Railway Company.
 
Sutton Bridge has its own fascinating story to tell. Not so long ago the journey across Sutton Bridge was impossible because of the one and half miles of marsh and creeks of the Cross Keys Wash, now known as Wingland. As the sea has been pushed further into the Wash, the resulting marshes have now become an area of Special Scientific Interest, popular with birdwatchers.  

Port Sutton Bridge on the River Nene is a busy port serving Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltics.

The River Nene enters the Wash at Guy’s Head where Sir Peter Scott the naturalist and painter lived in the lighthouse on the East bank for many years. The twin lighthouses are an ideal starting place for walking the sea banks to experience the wonderful views. The Peter Scott Walk, which is perfect for those loving solitude and bird watching, begins at the east bank lighthouse, and ends at West Lynn. The North Sea Cycle Route is also quite close by and in the summer you can even take trips from Wisbech to see the seals in the Wash area around Sutton Bridge.

The church of St Matthews dates back to 1843 and is the only flint-built church in Lincolnshire. Although not a market town, Sutton Bridge has restaurants and several interesting antique shops, and is a past winner of the the East Midlands In Bloom competition, small country town category.

Sutton Bridge power station is a combined cycle gas turbine station at the forefront of technology, and is located on the east bank of the River Nene, to the south-east of Sutton Bridge. Its 790MW generating capacity supplies 2% of the electricity needs of England and Wales. Completed relatively recently, in May 1999, and costing about £337m, it aims not only to contribute as much as it possibly can to the local community, but also to take real pride in the fact that it is one of the cleanest and most efficient power stations in Europe.

Sutton Bridge Golf Club, established in 1914 is a fine nine hole parkland golf course located in and around and abandoned late nineteenth century dock basin adjacent to the River Nene in South Lincolnshire.

The origins of the golf course are known in part to many people but there is almost something romantic in its history which marks it off as 'unique'. Back in 1881, the Sutton Bridge Port completed the construction of the dock basin some ten acres in area. No one could have forseen the engineering disaster that quickly followed its opening. Three ships had sailed into the basin and fortunately all three managed to escape before the dock walls began to collapse and two large pumping engines sank into the running silt.

The basin was abandoned for some thirty years until local people had the foresight to see the 35 acres as a golf course. The original walls of the dock basin form an intrinsic part of the course and create changes in levels which are not found in many other fenland courses.
 
To-day the course is well populated with trees , mostly willows and poplars which provide definition to the nine holes. Each hole is totally different, and the greens are rated among the best in Lincolnshire, Their quality is maintained throughout the year, and much of the credit for this is the result of the continuity of greenkeeping which the club has enjoyed.
