Situated approximately 7 miles northeast of the market town of Huntingdon, Little Catworth is nestled in the picturesque countryside of Cambridgeshire. The village is part of the civil parish of Catworth, and its population is estimated to be around 150 residents.

Little Catworth is characterized by its tranquil and rural setting, with its charming thatched cottages, meandering country lanes, and expansive green fields. The village is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, offering its residents and visitors a peaceful and idyllic environment.

The heart of the village is centered around St Leonard's Church, a Grade II*-listed building dating back to the 12th century. The church's architecture showcases a mix of Norman and Gothic styles, and its tower stands as a prominent landmark in the village.
