The local area
Sway is a small but thriving and busy village surrounded by open forest and countryside. Its famous landmark is Sway Tower, which at 200ft tall can be seen for miles. The tower is also known as Peterson's Folly, after Andrew Peterson who built it on his private estate between 1879–1885.
Sway has a mainline train station (London Waterloo to Weymouth line) and good selection of friendly shops. These include a well-stocked convenience store, Deli and coffee shop, chemist, hairdressers, newsagents and post office. Supermarkets and high street stores can be found in New Milton and Lymington, both only 4 miles away.
Other notable buildings include the pretty Victorian St Lukes C of E church and Artsway – a gallery and arts centre well worth stopping by. It hosts local and international exhibitions as well as educational workshops. The Jubilee Sports Ground offers flood lit tennis courts, football pitch and cricket ground and pavilion. The village community host several events and drama productions throughout the year, the highlight being Sway Carnival – the whole village turns out to cheer on the carnival procession along bunting crowded streets.
You don’t need to leave the village for great food and drink. The Silver Hind serves fabulous food in their restaurant with bar, winning consistent rave reviews, and it’s very dog-friendly too. The Hare and Hounds is a comfy pub with beer garden and designated children’s play area. They serve good value traditional pub fare.
