Swavesey is a village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles northwest of Cambridge and 12 miles southeast of Huntingdon. The village has a population of around 3,500 people and is known for its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and excellent transport links.

One of the most notable landmarks in Swavesey is the All Saints Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and features a stunning tower and spire. Another historic building in the village is the Manor House, which was built in the 16th century and is now a private residence. Swavesey also has a number of other listed buildings, including several thatched cottages and a 17th-century farmhouse.

Swavesey is well-connected to other parts of Cambridgeshire and beyond, thanks to its proximity to major roads and public transport links. The village is located just off the A14, which provides easy access to Cambridge, Huntingdon, and the M11 motorway. There is also a regular bus service that runs between Swavesey and Cambridge, as well as a train station in nearby St Ives that provides direct links to London and other major cities.
