Thriplow is a small, historic village in the district of South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying on the gentle arable plains a few miles south of Cambridge. The village retains a traditional feel with flint and thatch cottages clustered around a village green and a medieval parish church, reflecting its long rural heritage amid the surrounding farmland.
Thriplow is best known locally for its annual Daffodil Weekend, when private gardens and displays attract visitors and raise funds for community causes, and for a strong village community that blends farming families with commuters to nearby towns. A handful of listed buildings and other historic features give the place a quietly picturesque character rather than large-scale tourism or industry.
