Things to do in Little London
Little London is a hamlet of about a hundred and twenty houses on the southern edge of Pamber Forest, with a pub, a hall and a piano showroom. Most of what there is to do here is the forest, and that's plenty.

Pamber Forest from the hamlet
The reserve starts behind the Plough. Two hundred and fourteen hectares of ancient woodland looked after by the Wildlife Trust, open at all times, dogs on a lead, with butterflies in summer and wild daffodils and bluebells in spring. Footpaths lead in from the hamlet, and the car park is at Impstone Road in Pamber Heath.
Their websiteNero's tilery
Roman brick and tile kilns north east of the Plough made tiles stamped with the Emperor Nero's name for Silchester and beyond. They were found in 1926 and dug by the University of Reading in 2017, and two nineteenth century brickyards stood either side of the road by the pub. Nothing to see on the ground, but worth knowing as you walk past.
The Common and the Roman walls on foot
Silchester Common is just to the north and the Roman walls about a mile east, and footpaths link the hamlet to both.

The Plough Inn
A traditional village local with three changing cask ales, a real fire and a garden, family and dog friendly, with baguettes at lunchtime. It was cash only when CAMRA last called, so bring some.
