Thornhill is a village in the county of Cumbria, England, south of Whitehaven and north of Seascale, close to St.

The village was created by Whitehaven Rural District Council and Egremont Urban District Council in the 1920s, as part of the national campaign to improve housing conditions, keeping a promise made by the Government to soldiers fighting the First World War.

Tenants moved into the first completed houses, on Thorny Road, late in 1921.

The village is home to a small shop with sub Post Office, and a social club.

The centre of the village also houses a community park and play area.
