==Geography== [[File:UK SuttonBridge.jpg|thumb|120px|left|Signpost in Sutton Bridge]] The town lies very close to the county borders of both [[Norfolk]] and [[Cambridgeshire]] in the extreme south east of [[Lincolnshire]]. The parish boundary to the east, next to the Wash, meets [[Terrington St Clement]] and [[Norfolk]]. A mile north of the [[A17 road (England)|A17]], it meets [[Walpole Cross Keys]]. At ''King John Bank'' it crosses the A17, meeting [[Walpole, Norfolk|Walpole]]. At the junction of the North Level Main Drain with the River Nene, it follows the Nene northwards, meeting [[Tydd St Mary]] (Lincolnshire). At South Holland Bridge it follows South Holland Main Drain westwards to South Holland Lodge, where it meets [[Little Sutton, Lincolnshire|Little Sutton]], and follows Hospital Drove northwards, crossing the A17 where the pylons cross the bypass. It crosses the former A17 next to the large [[Premier Foods]] factory. At Maze Farm it briefly meets [[Long Sutton, Lincolnshire|Long Sutton]] then meets [[Lutton, Lincolnshire|Lutton]]. It follows the Lutton Leam eastwards through Old Leam Farm. Sutton Bridge and the surrounding area has recently seen an influx of new residents, mostly from the southern part of the United Kingdom. This has resulted in a healthy housing construction and improvement plan. In 1999, [[Sutton Bridge Power Station]], a 790 MW gas-fired power station that feeds electricity into the UK's [[National Grid (Great Britain)|National Grid]] was opened, it is situated on ''Centenary Way'', close to the River Nene. In 2024, a 57.3-mile stretch of the [[King Charles III England Coast Path]] opened from Sutton Bridge to [[Skegness]].<ref>{{cite web |title=New King Charles III England Coast Path opens in Lincolnshire |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-king-charles-iii-england-coast-path-opens-in-lincolnshire |publisher=Natural England |access-date=12 September 2024}}</ref> An existing stretch of the England Coast Path reaches [[Hunstanton]].
