Little Dunham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, in the county of Norfolk, England. Tucked among open arable fields and hedgerows, it sits close to Great Dunham and is within easy reach of market towns such as Swaffham and Dereham, giving it a quietly rural but accessible location.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, with farms, traditional cottages and a scattering of small businesses; community life is centred on the village hall and church, and the area’s lanes and footpaths are popular with walkers. With historic roots stretching back centuries, the settlement retains a strong vernacular character and peaceful, close‑knit feel typical of a Norfolk village.
