Lower Swanwick is a village on the River Hamble in Hampshire, England. It is located within the borough of Fareham at the eastern end of Bursledon Bridge, which carries the A27 across the River. Close to the city of Southampton. Nearby villages include Bursledon, Hamble-le-Rice and Sarisbury Green. The housing in the area is mostly modern with a few older houses although a long row of low cottages can be seen near the car park on the shore. The area has close ties to the sea with local marinas dominatating the riverbank.
The area houses Bursledon Brickworks and Swanwick has become particularly popular with visitors, because the river and its landmarks are where many of the scenes for the former television series Howards' Way were filmed.
