Thorpe is a village and civil parish in the English county of Derbyshire; it is on the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border, on the east bank of the River Dove, about four miles north of Ashbourne.

[1] Thorpe is at the southern end of the Peak District National Park almost at the foot of Thorpe Cloud, and is used by some visitors as a base for exploring Dovedale and the Manifold Valley.

[citation needed] The Limestone Way long-distance bridleway passes through Thorpe,[2] as does the Peak District Boundary Walk.

[3] The Dovedale Dash, a 4¾ mile cross-country running race held annually each November, was first organised here in 1953.
