Little Gransden is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying close to its larger neighbour Great Gransden and set amid gently rolling arable countryside. The settlement sits near the former RAF site now known as Gransden Lodge Airfield and within easy reach of the woodlands and nature reserves of Gransden and Waresley Woods, giving the area a quiet, rural character and good opportunities for walking and wildlife watching.
Historically rooted in medieval farming, the village remains largely agricultural but also houses commuters into Cambridge and nearby towns; community life centres on the parish church, village hall and occasional local events. The mix of period cottages, farm buildings and open fields, together with occasional flying activity at the airfield, gives Little Gransden a distinctive blend of rural tradition and low‑key recreational interest.
