Welcome to Oreston

Oreston is a small village located in the south of Devon, England. It is situated on the eastern bank of the River Plym, which flows into the English Channel. The village is known for its picturesque views of the river and the surrounding countryside. Oreston has a rich history, dating back to the 17th century when it was a thriving fishing village. Today, it is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions in Oreston is the Oreston Quay, which was once a busy port for the export of local goods such as limestone and china clay. Today, the quay is a popular spot for fishing and boating enthusiasts. Visitors can take a stroll along the quay and enjoy the views of the river and the boats moored there. There are also several pubs and restaurants in the area where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the scenery.

Another popular attraction in Oreston is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and its historic bell tower. Visitors can take a guided tour of the church and learn about its history and significance to the local community. The church is also a popular venue for weddings and other special events, and its peaceful surroundings make it a perfect place for quiet reflection and contemplation.
