Swainswick is a small village and civil parish just north‑east of Bath, within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset in England. Perched on the limestone hills above the Avon valley, it enjoys wide views over Bath and the surrounding Somerset countryside; the parish remains largely rural, with farmland, hedgerows and clusters of traditional stone cottages.
With medieval roots - the parish church of St Mary has long-standing historical fabric - Swainswick combines a quiet village character with close links to the city. Many residents commute into Bath while local life centres on the church, village hall and occasional community events, preserving a distinct local identity despite being close to a major historic and tourist centre.
