Orme

Orme is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated approximately 10 miles south of Exeter, the county town. The village is known for its picturesque setting, with rolling hills and a small river running through it. Orme has a population of around 500 people, and its main industry is agriculture, with dairy farming being particularly prominent.

The village has a long history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The name "Orme" is believed to derive from the Old English word "orm," which means "twisted" or "crooked," referring to the shape of the river that flows through the village. The village church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a notable landmark and has been a place of worship for the local community for centuries.

Orme is also home to several historic buildings, including Orme Court, a 16th-century manor house that now serves as a community center. The village has a thriving community, with a variety of local shops, a pub, and a community hall that hosts events throughout the year. The village is well-connected to nearby towns and cities, with regular bus services and a short drive to Exeter.

In recent years, Orme has seen some development, with new housing being built to accommodate the growing population. However, the village has managed to retain much of its rural character, with open spaces and green areas remaining a significant part of the landscape. Despite its small size, Orme offers a peaceful and idyllic setting, making it an attractive place to live and visit.
