Thropton is a small settlement in Northumberland, England. Thropton is a small village which exists about 2 miles west of Rothbury along the valley of the Coquet river. It has two decent pubs, the Cross Keys and the Three Wheat Heads. There is a haugh to the south of the village, and imposing views of Simonside, a long low crag south of the Coquet that runs between Rothbury and Thropton. There is a sub post office, but no shops, so local people get their provisions from Rothbury or further afield.
