Water Orton is a ward and village in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, sitting a few miles north‑east of Birmingham and close to Coleshill. It keeps a semi‑rural character - surrounded by farmland and hedgerows - but with good transport links, including a local railway station with services into Birmingham and the wider Midlands and easy access to the M42, which makes it popular with commuters while retaining a village atmosphere.
Originally an agricultural settlement that expanded with 19th‑century transport improvements, the ward today mixes residential streets, small shops, pubs and community facilities such as a village hall and primary school; local life often revolves around parish events and grassroots groups. The local economy is largely residential with small businesses and light industrial estates nearby, and green‑belt and conservation policies help preserve its countryside setting and historic character.
