Little Cressingham is a small rural village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. Nestled in the characteristic Breckland landscape of sandy soils, open arable fields and pockets of heath, it sits close to its neighbour Great Cressingham and the market town of Swaffham.
The community is traditionally agricultural and relatively small, with historic cottages, lanes and a parish church reflecting medieval roots. Local life tends to be quiet and community‑focused, mixing farming and country pursuits with conservation interests that protect the heathland habitats and wildlife that give the area much of its local character.
