Map of the UK

Littlebourne is a compact village and civil parish just a few miles east of Canterbury in Kent, England, set on the gentle chalk slopes below the North Downs. It has medieval roots and a pleasantly rural character, with lanes, old farmhouses and surviving pockets of agricultural land that hint at its long farming history.

Today the community mixes traditional village life - a village hall, local pubs and occasional fetes - with small businesses and residents who commute into Canterbury or London. Historic buildings and a quiet, conservation-minded atmosphere give Littlebourne a strong local identity while keeping it within easy reach of the wider cultural and economic life of east Kent.
