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.
