About

Littleport ward covers a large rural area north of Ely, characterised by expansive Fenland landscapes dominated by agricultural fields and drainage channels. The settlement of Littleport itself, situated along the River Great Ouse, functions as a significant local service centre for the surrounding farmland. The geography is defined by very flat, open skies and a network of roads and waterways essential for land management and transport.

The area has a strong historical connection to the local farming economy and is known for the 1816 Littleport Riots, a significant event in its social history. The ward includes the village's older core along with more modern housing developments, alongside isolated farms and hamlets scattered across the parish. The surrounding environment consists primarily of productive arable land, with the straight lines of field boundaries and drains creating a distinctive, ordered pattern across the terrain.
