From the informal footpath north of<br />
Townsend Housing Estate<br />
6.8 (2 and 3) The isolation of the village<br />
is evident from this viewpoint. The<br />
vista across agricultural land towards<br />
trees and buildings in the distance<br />
all compound the rural setting of the<br />
<strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong>.<br />
6.10 (5) From the Wessex Way vehicle<br />
passengers can catch glimpses of<br />
the church and farm buildings to the<br />
south-eastern edge of the village. This<br />
viewpoint again shows the buildings<br />
in their isolated setting. This vantage<br />
point also affords night time glimpses<br />
of the gentle glow of the gas lamps.<br />

6.9 (4) The topography of the area is<br />
relatively flat and there are no<br />
elevated viewpoints into the village<br />
other than from the footbridge<br />
over the Wessex Way. From here, a<br />
panorama of the village is possible,<br />
showing the layout of the eastern part<br />
of the village. The view also enables an<br />
appreciation of the isolation between<br />
the east and west residential clusters<br />
of buildings, and reinforces the context<br />
of the buildings amongst the farmland.<br />
