For those of you with SatNav in your cars please type in our postcode - BA21 3PZ - PLUS "via Thorne Lane". Our hamlet is divided in two by a closed gate which blocks the road. Sat navs appear not to detect this and send you the wrong side of the gate. The "via" should avoid this.
Please note: Access to Thorne from the north (via Chilthorne Domer) is restricted by a gate, so the best way to approach is from the southern end of the village via Thorne Lane.
Take care particularly in the dark not to miss the "Thorne" sign post off Thorne Lane. This can be difficult to see and also can be partly obscured by trees. Please telephone at any time if in doubt.
