Merge from Swaffham Prior chalk escarpment[edit]

Swaffham Prior chalk escarpment is nearly hidden from view physically. This local natural history phenomenon is the chalk local term clunch) escarpment of Swaffham Prior and it runs the full length of this East Cambridgeshire village dating back to Anglo-saxon times.

The village literally is built along its top and its bottom and a lot of the houses sit upon the ridge itself.The chalk escarpment straddles two very different local eco-systems. The Cambridgeshire Fens to the west, where the land slopes down. The chalk heathland to the east, Swaffham Prior heath, part of the Greater Newmarket chalk heath, where the land height increases and plateaus to a larger area in the east.

There are views of the Cambridgeshire countryside on all sides.In a few places the ridge/escarpment is exposed, although usually within private property. However you can see a fraction of it from the high Street, opposite the parish play area.

Census figures[edit]

As far as I'm aware, Swaffham Prior's never been included in Burwell? Reach didn't exist as a parish until after WW2 so figures for that village will naturally be split between Swaffham Prior and Burwell parishes before that, given that's how it legally was at the time. - JVG (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
