About

Little Downham and Sutton form a rural area north of Ely, characterised by expansive fenland landscapes and arable farming. The settlements are surrounded by drainage channels and wide, open fields under large skies. Sutton is the larger village, with a central crossroads and basic amenities, while Little Downham is more dispersed, centred around its church. The area's history is tied to land reclamation from the Fens, with much of the land lying at or below sea level.

The terrain is flat, making cycling and walking along the network of quiet droves and fen edges popular. The area is defined by its agricultural character, with large farms and few woodlands. Sutton Gault provides a crossing point over the Old Bedford River, a significant artificial watercourse. The local environment is dominated by the seasonal rhythms of farming and the vast, often windswept, horizons of the Cambridgeshire Fens.
