Pentney is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. Set in the low-lying, agricultural landscape of west Norfolk, it has the gentle mix of farmland, drainage channels and rivers typical of the fens, giving the village a quiet, rural character while being within easy reach of larger towns.
The village carries a distinct historic flavour: the remains of a medieval priory and an ancient parish church testify to a long history, and the surrounding countryside has produced notable archaeological finds. Today the local economy is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby King's Lynn or working in rural trades, and community life revolves around the church, village hall and occasional local events rather than tourism.
