Thornhill is a small rural parish in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, set amid the uplands of the Peak District. The area is characterised by stone-built farmhouses, drystone walls, moorland and rolling pasture, making it popular with walkers and cyclists who come for the quieter lanes and wide views over the surrounding gritstone edges.
Historically rooted in agriculture with traces of local quarrying and small-scale mining, the parish today mixes traditional farming with a modest tourism trade and residents who commute to larger towns. It retains a strong rural community feel, with village life focused on local events and outdoor recreation rather than heavy industry.
