A charming village, Sway
lies on the Little Avon, nestling on the
southern edge of the New Forest. Just a short
drive from the coast it is dominated by a
bizarre folly known as Sway Towers. This
edifice is over 200ft high and was built an
eccentric judge, Yorkshire-born Andrew
Peterson. Captain Marryat’s thrilling
Victorian novel ‘The Children of the New
Forest’ was set in the area. St Barbe Museum
and Art Gallery is a nearby attraction. |
