Water Orton is a small village in the district of North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Tame and tucked into the outer reaches of the West Midlands conurbation. It lies close to Coleshill and within easy reach of Birmingham, so it often feels like a quiet, green commuter settlement with easy access to urban centres while retaining a semi-rural character.
Historically the village grew up around the railways and you can still sense that Victorian infrastructure and community pattern today; there is a local station and a handful of traditional pubs, a parish church and small shops that give it a village atmosphere. Local life mixes long-standing families with newer commuters, and while it is modest in size the place is notable for its transport links, riverside setting and village community events.
