About

Littleport lies within the fenlands of East Cambridgeshire, characterised by expansive, flat agricultural landscapes. The area is defined by drainage channels and wide skies, with much of the local economy historically linked to the fertile farmland. The settlement itself is one of the largest villages in the region, functioning with its own commercial centre along the high street.

The village's development is closely tied to the River Great Ouse, which runs to the south and once supported significant trade. A notable local event is the annual Straw Bear Festival, a tradition revived from the 19th century. The surrounding network of droves and lodes speaks to the ongoing management of the low-lying land against flooding.
