The Old Chapel stands prominently on Little Asby’s single village street, its simple stone façade blending naturally with the surrounding cottages and farmhouses. Built in 1889 as the village’s Congregational Chapel, it has since been sympathetically converted into a private residence. Beyond the eastern edge of the village, the ruined foundations of the medieval Church of St Leonard provide a reminder of an earlier place of worship that once served the local community.

Little Asby’s cottages and farmhouses are remarkably varied, with each stone-built dwelling adding its own character to the village street. Near the junction with Sunbiggin Road, the village green is often occupied by grazing cattle, reinforcing the close relationship between the village and the surrounding farmland.

Burtree stands on the western edge of Little Asby, reached by a footpath that crosses the moorland road. Its name derives from the Old English for “elder tree,” reflecting a time when such trees were sufficiently prominent to give the dwelling its name. Today, Burtree is almost completely concealed within the surrounding copse, remaining largely hidden from view for those passing through the village.

Asket Dub is a small pond beside the moorland road west of Little Asby. Over many years it has gradually filled with accumulated vegetation and organic matter, a natural process known as pond succession. As water plants become established and decaying material builds upon the pond floor, open water slowly gives way to marshland before eventually developing into dry ground. Little of the original pond can now be seen, its former outline almost entirely hidden by vegetation.

Standing beside the limestone crag of Middle Busk is the Middle Busk Treefold, known as Circle of Land’s Bones. The circular stone enclosure contains an oak and a rowan, planted as part of the Legacy Tree project marking the 2017 Tree Charter. The nearby crag is a popular destination for rock climbers and lies close to the junction of the moorland road from Mazon Wath with the road between Sunbiggin Tarn and Little Asby.

Immediately north of Little Asby, a low limestone hill rises beside the approach road into the village. Its gently rounded summit is crowned by a small copse of trees, forming a distinctive landmark for walkers and drivers arriving from the moorland road.
