Swaby is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It sits amid gently rolling farmland typical of the Lincolnshire Wolds and consists of a handful of cottages and farms linked by quiet lanes; market towns such as Horncastle and Louth are within easy reach, so residents balance rural life with access to nearby services.

The settlement has long agricultural roots and retains several historic buildings and field boundaries that hint at a medieval past; the village centre is modest, centred around its church and community facilities rather than commerce. Local life is shaped by farming, small-scale enterprises and seasonal events - village fetes, walking and cycling along the surrounding countryside - giving Swaby a tranquil, close‑knit character valued by residents and visitors.
