Littlethorpe is a small rural village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, lying a short distance from the cathedral city of Ripon. Set on the edge of the agricultural Vale of York, it has the low, rolling fields, stone cottages and quiet lanes typical of this part of Yorkshire, with good walking countryside and easy access to nearby market towns.
The community retains a largely agricultural character, with local life revolving around village events, smallholdings and commuter links into larger centres; its position also makes it convenient for visitors exploring nearby historic attractions such as Fountains Abbey and other estate landscapes. Over time the parish has seen modest housing growth while keeping a strong village identity and connection to the surrounding farming economy.
