Little Stretton is a small, rural civil parish in the district of Harborough in south‑east Leicestershire, England. Set in rolling farmland typical of the area, the settlement lies within the broader Welland valley and is a short drive from the market town of Market Harborough, with a network of quiet lanes and public footpaths that attract walkers and riders.
Historically the community grew around agriculture and scattered farmsteads, and a number of older cottages and farm buildings hint at medieval and post‑medieval origins. Today farming still shapes the landscape, but many residents commute to nearby towns for work; social life tends to be centred on neighbouring villages and Market Harborough for shops, schools and pubs, giving the parish a peaceful, community‑oriented character with good regional connections.
