Little Shelford is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying a few miles south of Cambridge and directly adjoining Great Shelford. It sits beside the River Cam and its floodplain meadows, giving pleasant riverside walks, visible wildlife and a distinctly rural character despite the proximity to the city.
The village retains a number of historic cottages and a medieval parish church set among agricultural land, and supports a close‑knit community with a village hall and local clubs. Many residents commute to Cambridge or the nearby science and tech employers, aided by convenient road links such as the M11, so Little Shelford combines historic charm and countryside tranquillity with modern commuter life.
