Thorpe Cloud is an isolated Limestone hill (a Reef Knoll ) lying between the villages of Thorpe and Ilam at the southern end of Dovedale . It is a popular hill amongst the many day-trippers who visit the area, and a provides a fine viewpoint north up the dale and south across the Midland plain.

Like much of the dale, including Bunster Hill on the opposite bank, it is in the ownership of the National Trust , and is part of their South Peak Estate . These Dovedale properties were acquired by the Trust in 1934.
