Thorpe is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. Set among arable fields and hedgerow-lined lanes, it enjoys a quiet village character while lying within easy reach of market towns such as Newark-on-Trent and the city of Nottingham, so it combines rural seclusion with reasonable commuter links.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the parish still reflects those farming traditions in its landscape and local economy, with scattered cottages and traditional buildings clustered around a modest village core. Community life tends to revolve around local events and nearby services in larger towns, and the surrounding countryside is popular for walking, wildlife and a strong sense of rural continuity.
