Little Blakenham is a small village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk in eastern England, lying a few miles north‑west of Ipswich and adjacent to Great Blakenham. Set amid rolling arable farmland and hedged lanes, it retains a distinctly rural character with public footpaths and open views across the gently undulating Suffolk countryside.
With Anglo‑Saxon roots reflected in its placename and a history visible in traditional flint and timber buildings and the parish church, the settlement is largely agricultural in character although many residents commute to nearby towns. Local life is quietly communal, centred on church activities and occasional village events that help preserve a strong sense of local identity despite modern pressures from nearby development.
