About Littleport

Littleport is remembered for the 1816 Littleport and Ely riots, when labourers protested over hunger and low wages. Today it’s a good base for boating, angling and walking the riverbanks, with boat hire at nearby Brandon Creek.

The Littleport Society’s free local history archive at The Barn, just off Main Street, opens every Tuesday afternoon, and Littleport Leisure on Camel Road runs a busy timetable of sport and fitness classes.
