Littleham is an area of Exmouth in East Devon, England.[1] It was historically a village and civil parish,[2] much older than Exmouth itself.[3]
The ecclesiastical parish is now known as Littleham-cum-Exmouth. The original parish church dates back to the 13th century and is dedicated to St Margaret and St Andrew. Frances Nelson, wife of Lord Nelson, is buried in the churchyard.[4] The newer parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1824.
Between 1903 and 1967 Littleham had its own railway station, on the Exmouth & Salterton Railway of the London and South Western Railway.
To the South of Littleham is Sandy Bay, with a large seaside caravan resort owned by Haven Holidays,[5] called Devon Cliffs.[6]
