One of the smaller villages in Oxfordshire and two miles south of its larger neighbour, Little Milton is surrounded by fields and a network of footpaths and bridleways. At the centre of the village is Wells Farm, a working farm with an associated nature reserve managed by BBOWT, providing several pleasant walks. Red kites can often be seen flying over the village.

Some of the village´s oldest buildings, dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, line the High Street and Haseley Road. Like the village pub, The Lamb, many are thatched. Other buildings of note include the 19th century church and the manor house with its twin ´pepper-pot´ lodges.
