Sutton Coldfield or the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield (/ˌsʌtən ˈkɒldfiəld/ ⓘ),[3][4] is a town and civil parish in the city of Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The town lies around 8 miles northeast of Birmingham city centre, 9 miles south of Lichfield, 7 miles southwest of Tamworth, and 7 miles east of Walsall.
