Little Abington is a small village in the district of South Cambridgeshire, in Cambridgeshire, England, often spoken of together with neighbouring Great Abington. Set in gently rolling countryside a few miles south‑east of Cambridge, the village sits close to the valley of the River Granta and retains a largely rural character shaped by farming alongside a significant commuter presence.
Historically medieval in origin, the Abingtons show the usual mix of older stone buildings, a parish church and more modern housing; the area is popular with walkers thanks to public footpaths and country lanes. Community life centres on a village hall and local events rather than large commercial activity, so social ties tend to be close and the village retains a quiet, villagey feel despite its easy access to the city.
