Swinithwaite is a hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the A684 road, 2 miles (3.2 km) miles east of Aysgarth.^[1]

The hamlet originally belonged to the Knights Templar but was later absorbed into the manor of West Witton which lies to the east.^[2] The hamlet includes Swinithwaite Hall, a grade II* listed building^[3] which has extensive grounds covering over 1,600 acres (650 ha).^[4] There is a belvedere in the grounds^[5] and a folly (known as Temple Folly after a nearby Knights Templar chapel). Both the belvedere and the folly were designed by John Foss of Richmond and have been converted into holiday accommodation.^[6] The hamlet does not have any amenities other than a farm shop.^[7]

The cellar in the farmhouse on the estate was once used for a scene in All Creatures Great and Small.^[4]

Spelled Synningthwait, the village is mentioned as the protagonist Uhtred of Bebbanburg's childhood home in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon stories.
