The Marches needs to separately establish and maintain a base of core data and information to benchmark performance.

South Herefordshire and Over Severn Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

There is a children’s playground beside the Village Hall making it an excellent venue for children’s parties. The village has excellent public transport links, via the 490 bus to Ludlow, Leominster and Hereford (subsidised by Orleton Parish Council) and is close to the Mortimer Trail, which runs through nearby Mortimer Forest, attracting walkers and cyclists to the area. Tourists are catered for with a number of bed & breakfasts, self catering holiday cottages and caravan parks situated within and around the village.
