The village and civil parish of Thorpe Audlin sits within the district of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, set among gently rolling farmland and narrow lanes a short drive from larger market towns such as Hemsworth and Pontefract and within commuting distance of Leeds.
It has medieval roots - the element “Thorpe” points to Norse settlement - and today retains a largely agricultural feel while functioning partly as a commuter community; social life is centred on parish activities and the village hall, giving it a quietly rural character that still reflects local history and landscape.
