Residents from Westham in East Sussex reported the swan family in the Church Road area near the memorial hall and fire station. The group was later found in gardens off Wallsend Road.
Due to the close location of two main roads and being unclear where the family were trying to reach, rescuers had no choice but to relocate the swans back to the nearby river to safety.
