Littlebourne is a village and civil parish in the district of Canterbury, in Kent, England, set in the valley of the Little Stour a few miles north‑east of Canterbury. The name reflects the presence of a small stream and the settlement keeps a distinctly rural feel with surrounding arable farmland and hedged lanes.
There are medieval roots visible in the parish church and other older buildings, but the village today is a mix of farming community and commuter settlement for nearby towns. Local life revolves around a village hall, school and pubs, with regular community events that underline a strong local identity while still enjoying easy access to the city and the Kent coast.
