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 . Thorpe is at the southern end of the Peak District National Park almost at the foot of Thorpe Cloud , and is an excellent base for exploring Dovedale and the Manifold Valley . It formerly had a railway station served by the LNWR Ashbourne to Buxton branch line, which linked with the Cromford And High Peak Railway at Parsley Hay . This former trackbed now forms the long distance Tissington Trail cycle and footpath trail. There is a small car park at the station site, and many walkers/cyclists leave the trail at this point to visit Dovedale or the nearby picturesque village of Ilam . SEE ALSO |
