Littlebury is a small, quiet village and civil parish in Uttlesford, Essex, England, set just north‑east of Saffron Walden and close to the Cambridgeshire border. The parish sits by the upper reaches of the River Cam and adjoins the parkland of Audley End, yet has convenient road and rail links (near the M11 and the West Anglia line) that make it attractive to commuters to Cambridge and London.
Littlebury retains a distinctly rural character: historic farmsteads, timber‑framed cottages and a medieval parish church reflect its long history, and the community remains small and village‑focused with a village hall and local activities rather than much industry. Agriculture and local services still shape the economy, while proximity to grand estates and market towns gives residents easy access to cultural and historic attractions.
