Geo-Trips :: Across the fens
Sutton Bridge
A drive from Wyboston, Sun, 14 Aug 2022 by David Howard
A pre-Worboys sign had just surfaced in Sutton Bridge, so off I went as usual, only to discover it had just been removed (it was only a few weeks since the last photo was taken). But I don't waste photo opportunities and meant I had a new area to cover north of Wisbech I hadn't been to before and then the whole of Wisbech which I'd only made a brief visit to before. It was a lovely warm sunny day and the roads were clear as they usually are going north at the weekend. I walked along the River Nene and got some nice photos of Sutton Bridge and added to my growing similar photos of the fens.
Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( )
