Swineford

Swineford (pronounced /ˈswɪnfɔːrd/; the e is silent) is a hamlet in the South Gloucestershire council area of the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England, very close to the boundary with the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority area. It is located around 1 km south-east of Bitton, and lies on the River Avon, on which the Swineford Lock is sited.[1] The A431 road runs through the hamlet.[2]

The name is cognate with that of the German town of Schweinfurt.
