Dist:0.5km<br/>The Boot and houses in the old centre of the village. Many of the surrounding orchards are now developed as housing, ensuring a vibrant living village, unlike those neighbours unfortunate enough to be governed from Ludlow in South Shropshire which are dead dormitories for rich people. They do not encourage housing development there, a tragic mistake.

Dist:0.5km<br/>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.

Dist:0.6km<br/>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 lets hope it operates in profit and gets local support.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A survivor. Neighbouring villages like Ashford Carbonel and Brimfield rely on travelling post offices set up in the village hall. Orleton still has a village shop. Busy on a Sunday morning. Note the war memorial at the crossroads, and the enormous C. leylandii "hedge" dwarfing the shop.

Dist:0.7km<br/>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.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The oil seed rape is losing its yellow flowers now as May comes to an end and it is getting hard to struggle through the crop as it grows.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Looks like they have had a new one. Its predecessor was the scene of some very infamous dances/punchups.

Dist:0.7km<br/>"Olton" vrs The Bell (A Leominster pub side, in yellow). There is a large sports field behind the village hall. Some of the newer houses can be seen behind the goal. In the early 1970s,Orleton played in blue shirts and black shorts.
