The Boot Inn, Orleton Done up for St George's Day.  

To me this pub will always be remembered for the once publican who could not pronounce the name of the village.

The war memorial and village post office, Orleton One of the social centres of the village. The village is properly pronounced 'Orl-ton' rather than Or-let-ton, which I have also heard.

The Boot Inn, Orleton I believe that this pub has changed hands, or management, a few times over recent years and months, like all too many pubs. But it seems well run, both wet side and food-wise, so let's hope it operates in profit and gets local support.

Orleton Rise Holiday Park A static caravan holiday park within easy reach of many local attractions; Ludlow, Tenbury, Leominster (no, I'm not joking), the Teme valley, Mortimer Forest, the Clee Hills, Richard's Castle, the Mortimer Trail plus numerous small villages with pubs and a wide choice of restaurants. Or visitors could just stay on site drinking their own beer and eating their own barbecue food.

Old building in Orleton I have been watching that tile and waiting for it to fall for, well, maybe five years. This old building could well have been a smithy or a garage, or a coach house for the neighbouring roadside inn. Someone will know.
