A few interesting facts about the village are that the meridian line runs through it, was recorded to have previously been occupied with 27 public houses and had a port where boats came into the middle of the village on market street.

On the green sits an attractive pavilion used by the community, as well as a children’s play area. Swavesey is also fortunate to neighbour the RSPB nature reserve with miles of walks along the river that leads on to Fen Drayton lakes where many types of wildlife can be found.
