Little Lumley is a small civil parish in County Durham, in the North East of England, situated just to the north‑east of Chester‑le‑Street and within easy reach of Durham. It sits close to the adjacent settlement of Great Lumley and the historic Lumley Castle, and its development has long been shaped by the county’s coal‑mining past.
Today the area is largely residential and rural, with farmland, hedgerows and a quiet, close‑knit community; remnants of mining heritage remain in the landscape and local memory, while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities. The parish offers straightforward access to countryside walks and regional heritage sites, making it a small but characterful part of County Durham’s post‑industrial tapestry.
