Welcome to the website for Orlestone Parish Council.
The parish of Orlestone, based on the village of Hamstreet, lies six miles south of Ashford, seven miles east of Tenterden and seven miles north-west of New Romney.
The village centre is an attractive protected Conservation Area and the village itself is surrounded by open countryside and woodland areas, some of which are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve. These areas are rich in flora and fauna and also host the start of the Greensand Way as well as many other walks.
Orlestone is twinned with the French town of Therouanne.
