Sway is a village and civil parish in Hampshire in the New Forest national park in England.

The village has shops and pubs, and a railway station on the South West Main Line from Weymouth and Bournemouth to Southampton and London Waterloo.

The outbuildings of the Grade II listed Forest Heath House are used as artist studios and exhibition space by the charity SPUDWorks.

From Brockenhurst, one can catch the "Lymington Flyer" services connect with the ferry to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.

[11] The northern part of the parish contains areas of woodland, heathland, acid grassland, scrub and valley bog, supporting a richness and diversity of wildlife.

[12] Sway is a settlement of Anglo-Saxon origin, and its name, from the Old English name "Svieia", means "noisy stream" which is a probable reference to the Avon Water.

[15] One other Domesday Book manor within the parish of Sway is known as Arnewood, which before 1066 had been held by Siward from Earl Tostig.

[20] In the village was Arnewood House (now destroyed by fire) which was the home of the Children of the New Forest in Captain Marryat's book.

[20] In World War II, an Emergency Landing Ground for aircraft opened in August 1940, when farmland was levelled and cleared just south of the village.

[23] Peterson—a proponent of spiritualism in his later life—also claimed to be guided by the spirit of Sir Christopher Wren in the building of the tower.

A smaller 15-metre (49 ft) folly, built as a 'prototype', stands in a group of trees to the north of the taller tower.

[29][30][31] SPUDWorks also built a studio, called The Living Room, in the gardens of Forest Heath House specifically for working with people with dementia.

[32] SPUDWorks offers residencies, holds exhibitions and participates in events such as Hampshire Open Studios.
