Little Ormside is a hamlet in the parish of Ormside, in Westmorland.
The hamlet is a few miles upstream of Westmorland's little county town, Appleby-in-Westmorland, by the River Eden, where the Helm Beck joins it. Across the beck just half a mile north-west, is the larger village of Great Ormside.
The Cedar of Lebanon growing in the garden of Ormside Lodge is said to have been brought back from the Lebanon by General Whitehead. He supposedly grew the sapling in his hat during the long sea voyage back to Britain, sharing his daily ration of water with it
