Welcome to the village of Swannington
and the Heritage Trust
Swannington Heritage Trust exists to preserve and enhance our legacy of the past for the benefit and enjoyment of people in the present. We maintain former mining and railway sites a mill and 10 acres of woodland. We make our sites and historical information available to everyone and we are keen to work with village people and organisations for the benefit of all. In February 2012 we completely revamped this website, hopefully we have kept the best of the old while adding new facilities. Apart from more information on how to contact, join and volunteer with the Trust, there are walks to enjoy and information on village events, organisations and businesses. Send us your photos and updates and we will publish them.

Our April photos of the month feature the first visitors of the year to the summer season of Hough Mill opening, so a big welcome to Rhys and Derfel Jones who live in Ashby de la Zouch. We hope that you enjoyed your visit and will return with the rest of the family. Primroses at the Snibston No 3 site, true harbingers of spring. So make sure you walk around the village to see all the glorious flowers.. Send your photos of Swannington to webmaster@swannington-heritage.co.uk to feature in the next “Photos of the month”.

This web page is a new feature for 2012 and by the end of the year there will be at least 12 walks in our catalogue, so keep returning to see what is available.
