Orton Waterville sits on the western edge of Peterborough, and while the city has grown around it, the village has managed to keep hold of its distinct, older identity. At its heart is a collection of limestone cottages and 17th-century farmstead buildings that cluster around the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, which dates back to the 13th century. It is a geographically well-placed spot, bounded to the north by the River Nene and the sprawling 500-acre Nene Park, which provides a direct, green link all the way into the city centre via footpaths and cycleways. For day-to-day life, it’s a practical location: you have the local shops and the post office on Cherry Orton Road, and you’re within easy reach of the A1(M), yet the noise of the main roads stays mostly in the background. It’s the kind of place where you still see people walking down to the local pub or out towards the golf course, maintaining a quiet, established pace that feels quite separate from the more modern "Orton" townships nearby.
