Little Shelford is a small, mainly residential village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, a few miles south of Cambridge and adjacent to Great Shelford. It sits close to the River Cam and retains a compact historic core with a medieval parish church and several listed houses set around lanes and green spaces, giving it a distinctly rural character despite its proximity to the city.
Historically agricultural, the village now combines countryside life with commuter links to Cambridge, so the local economy reflects both farming and the wider regional job market. Community life centres on the village hall, church and network of footpaths along the river and meadows, used for leisure and wildlife watching, and occasional village events help sustain a strong local social fabric.
