Dist:0.3km<br/>A field south of the village; buildings on Manor Farm Lane are in the background.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is an east-facing downstream view of the small watercourse which, if it isn't the River Avon yet, it soon will be. This River Avon flows south into the sea near Christchurch.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A small village, and this junction and its green near the church (whose spire can just be seen on the left) is at the heart of it.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This isn't geographically the centre of the small Wiltshire village but it is the communications hub. There isn't a great deal to Patney. There's no pub, shop or post office but it is quiet.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Just beyond the speed limit signs is this watercourse [[1742261]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a west-facing upstream view of the small watercourse that eventually becomes the River Avon. Four separate streams have joined this section to the west to form what is seen here.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The properties in the background are probably in Chirton as the parish boundary between Patney and Chirton lies between them and the viewpoint.

Dist:0.4km<br/>What was once a church and is still shown as such on the Ordnance Survey maps is now a private house. It became a dwelling on or about 28th April 1997.

Dist:0.4km<br/>From bridleway CHIR13, looking across the shallow valley of the River Avon.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The Church was declared redundant and closed for regular public worship by the Diocese of Salisbury in 1992. It is now a private house.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The field has been recently cultivated, perhaps ready for spring-sown oilseed. Just a guess. The farm buildings in the background belong to Plummers Farm in the next square south.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Much of the appearance of this church is due to Victorian "restoration". A closer look at the picture shows a domestic garden, and this church is now a house (since 1997) although this is hard to see from the building itself.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This footpath leads from Patney to the site of the former Patney and Chirton Junction station. This is one of those locations where the route of an historic right of way was diverted many years ago, but the new route has not yet been picked up by the Ordnance Survey. In this case the footpath is shown on the mapping running in a diagonal straight line. In practice the footpath runs due west from the road through Patney for about 100 metres before turning to the north-west. [[1397131]] with the brick structure in front can be seen in the distance.
