Map of the UK

Thorpe Salvin is a small village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, set in a largely agricultural landscape not far from larger centres such as Sheffield. It feels rural and compact, with classic village lanes and views across farmed fields rather than any big industrial presence.

The settlement has a long history reflected in a medieval parish church and several listed buildings, and its name combines the Old Norse "thorpe" for an outlying farm with the surname of the family who once held the manor. Locally the economy is still influenced by farming but many residents commute to nearby towns, and the village retains a quiet community character with occasional events and a strong sense of local heritage.
