Welcome to Swavesey

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.

Chivers Lake
Nice Walk Around Lake, No On Lead Areas But Do Need To Be Careful Along Guided Busway Side As Fencing Is Poor. Not A Problem If Your Dog Has Good Recall. It's Perfect During Summer As It's Safe For Dogs To Swim. There Is A Large Field Next To The Holiday Inn Hotel Which You Can Get To From The Lake. Perfect For A Ball Game Or Game Of Chase With Other Dogs. My Dog Loves It There. Downside, People Do Not Always Clear Up Their Litter Which Is A Real Shame.

Milton Country Park
Milton Country Park Is A Popular Place For Dog Walkers. There Are Signs To Say Where Dogs Must Be Kept On Lead But There Also Areas Where Dogs Can Run Free. There Are Lots Of Good Facilities, Toilets, A Small Cafe, Benches, Children's Park, Litter And Dog Bins. The Park Can Get Very Busy At Weekends, Weekdays Are Much Quieter. It's A Lovely Place For An Afternoon Stroll With A Couple Of Lakes For A Doggy Paddle But Watch Out For The Swans Who Get Grumpy If They Are Disturbed.
