 Not far from Swainshill is the National Trust's The Weir Garden.In 2003-04 the main Roman Road leading to Stretton Sugwas and Credenhill, for a long time just a narrow country lane was improved.This was not without local objections to begin with, however the economic benefit to the village has no doubt been improved with the construction of a new cattle market at the current outskirts of the village.
