Sutton Spring Wood

Sutton Spring Wood (also known as Sutton Springs Wood) is a small hamlet in Sutton-cum-Duckmanton parish.[3] The hamlet consists of around 45 houses, in a heavily wooded area, with a road that passes under the A617 road that links it to Temple Normanton. It is linked to Chesterfield via a bus stop located on Moor Lane and it is close to Sutton Scarsdale and Sutton-cum-Duckmanton but these villages are not linked closely by road to Sutton Spring Wood. There are no shops, pubs or churches in the hamlet. Across the road from the hamlet is Calow Green.
