Great Orton is a village in Cumbria, North West England, located a few miles west-southwest of the city of Carlisle. Situated in a rural setting, it is perhaps most widely recognised for the nearby Great Orton Airfield, a former World War II site that played a significant role during the 2001 foot-and-mouth disease crisis. The village itself maintains a quiet, residential character, offering local amenities such as a primary school and a parish church, and serves as a community within the wider Cumbrian landscape.
