<sod>'''Little Chesterford''' is a small village and [[civil parish]] in [[Uttlesford]] [[Essex]], eastern [[England]] and close to the [[Cambridgeshire]] border. It is built principally along a single sunken lane to the east of a tributary of the [[River Cam]] or [[Granta (river)|Granta]] and is located 1&nbsp;km southeast of [[Great Chesterford]] and some 5&nbsp;km northwest of [[Saffron Walden]]. The small hamlet of Springwell is just to the south of the village. Up the hill to the east is Chesterford Park, with a mid-19th-century mansion in a 250 acre (approx. 100 hectare) estate and now a science park called Chesterford Research Park. The wide and relatively deep valley of the river Cam provides a rolling landscape of chalky boulder clay with extensive and wide views. The surrounding farmland is mostly in intensive arable use and except for areas alongside the river, some of which is liable to flooding, is classified as being of grade 2 quality.<ref> Essex Landscape Character Assessment; Essex County Council (2003)</ref><eod>
