The Boot Inn at Orleton, near Ludlow

The Boot Inn at Orleton, near Ludlow, is open for business for the first time since July 2017 after villagers stepped in to save it.

Now, following an eight-month refurbishment, the pub is being run by experienced tenants Chris and Hollie Thorpe.

The pub was shut in 2017 by its then owner who put on the market for development, sparking fears it might be sold for housing.
