WHY GREAT ORTON? A popular village with Pub, primary school and butchers, conveniently located just minutes away from Carlisle city centre and the city by-pass, which manages to retain a peaceful rural feel despite its accessibility. The rest of the region is easily accessed thanks to the nearby A595 for west Cumbria and the by-pass providing a quick and easy route to the M6 motorway. Additional amenities are also close by at Orton Grange and in the village of Dalston, which has a secondary school as well as a primary school.
