During World War I, the Littlemoor area was used as an Australian army camp.
For this reason many of the roads in the area today are named after towns and cities in Australia.
It has a woodland area (which has been named Teddy Bear woods, referencing to the famous nursery rhyme) managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust, part of their Lorton Meadows nature reserve.
Littlemoor has a high level of deprivation and poverty but this has decreased in recent years as the estate has expanded.
