Little Thetford is a small fenland village in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying beside the River Great Ouse a few miles west of Ely. The surrounding landscape is characteristically flat and reclaimed from the fens, with rich grazing, drainage channels and nearby wetland reserves such as the Ouse Washes that attract a variety of birdlife and make the area popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically the village grew from agricultural and river‑trade roots and today retains that rural feel while serving as a commuter base for nearby towns and cities. Local life centres on the parish church, village hall and primary school, with traditional fetes and community activities keeping a close‑knit social scene; the silhouette of Ely Cathedral is a familiar landmark on the horizon.
