Thorpe

Thorpe is a village that most people know because of Thorpe Park, the theme park on its doorstep. The village itself is small and surprisingly quiet given the neighbour, with a green, a church, and some attractive older houses along Coldharbour Lane and around the village centre. There are also the flooded gravel pits that have become lakes and are used for watersports. Housing is mixed, from older cottages to newer builds, and the village has managed to keep a distinct identity separate from Chertsey and Staines. The trade-off is the summer traffic heading to the theme park and the proximity to the M25.
