Swineshead is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Boston in Lincolnshire, England. Sitting on the edge of The Fens, it occupies a generally flat, agricultural landscape known for arable farming and drained peat and clay soils; the village retains a compact centre with a parish church, village hall and a small cluster of shops and pubs.
There is a notable medieval legacy nearby in the form of Swineshead Abbey, and the historic church and local buildings reflect a long rural past. Today the community balances farming, local services and commuting into the market town of Boston, with clubs, events and a village network that keep a close-knit social feel despite modern pressures on agriculture and housing.
