Swithland Leicestershire Map

About Swithland

Swithland, a jewel within Leicestershire's Charnwood district, breathes a quiet grace. It lies 6.7 km south of Loughborough (from Loughborough: bearing 170°T, OS grid SK 548 131), and is situated south-south-east of Woodhouse village. The very earth of Swithland sings with the echoes of ancient quarrying, its granite heart having been laid bare to craft enduring structures. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey East Midlands sky, catches the mossy stones of old field walls, turning them to emeralds, and the village green, a soft expanse, seems to hold the hushed sighs of generations. The air here carries a subtle scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a timeless perfume that clings to the ancient oaks bordering the landscape. In its unassuming way, Swithland offers a tranquil respite, a place where the past whispers in the rustle of leaves.
