Orby is a small, rural civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set a few miles from the market town of Alford on the edge of the rolling chalk landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The parish feels quietly agricultural, with open arable fields, hedged lanes and easy access to coastal plains and nearby market services rather than its own commercial centre.

Its character is defined by a modest historic core – a medieval parish church and traditional farmhouses – and a community life that revolves around local events, farming and commuting to nearby towns. The area attracts walkers and anyone after a peaceful countryside base, while the local economy remains largely tied to agriculture with occasional small businesses and rural tourism supporting village life.
