Thorpe is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set among rolling limestone pastures on the fringe of the Peak District. The settlement is characterised by stone-built cottages, traditional farmsteads and a network of dry-stone walls and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and cyclists enjoying the surrounding dales and lanes.
Its history is visible in a compact village core with an older church and several listed buildings, while the local economy remains largely agricultural with a growing contribution from tourism and rural lettings; many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Ashbourne and Bakewell. Socially it retains a close-knit, community feel with occasional village events and a strong interest in conservation and countryside stewardship.
