ORTON
Orton was designated the second township in the expansion of Peterborough in 1967. It is composed of the ancient villages of Orton Waterville and Orton Longueville, together with further developments in Orton Brimbles, Orton Goldhay, Orton Malbourne, Orton Southgate, Orton Wistow and most recently Orton Northgate. All lie south of the River Nene with The A605 running through the Ortons, connecting Peterborough to the A1(M). Nearby railway station with access to London Kings Cross on the East Coast Main Line.
Country Park known as Ferry Meadows Country Park stretches for 10 km along the beautiful valley of the River Nene immediately west of Peterborough and is managed by Nene Park Trust situated in a large meander of the river Nene, with its lakes, meadows and woodlands.
The Nene Valley Railway is one of the best known standard gauge steam preservation railways in the country and home to that very special engine, Thomas. The railway runs between Wansford and Peterborough through the length of Nene Park with two stations in Nene Park at Ferry Meadows and Orton Mere.
Until the 1960s Orton Longueville was a village separated from Peterborough by open farmland. The 'village' contains many pre 20th century buildings including Orton Hall, once used as a prisoner of war camp during the Second World War (now a hotel), several thatched cottages, a cricket field and a church. There is still a village green and close by is a half mile long plantation of wellingtonia trees known as the 'Long Walk'.
One of the original 'Ortons', Orton Waterville also retains a village atmosphere and contains many thatched and stone built cottages and the 13th century parish church of St Mary's. It once had its own Orton Waterville railway station, but both the station and the line it stood on have now closed.
