Thank you for visiting Cropthorne for the 44th year of The Walkabout, we hope you enjoyed your visit. Many of the original residents who began this event still enjoy taking part. A big thank you to them.

Thank you also to all of the people, companies and businesses who have donated Raffle Prizes, sponsored events and generally helped to make this event such a success.

Cropthorne Walkabout committee

Here is a loverly poem written by Sue Millard who's daughter lives in the village to give you a flavour of our village:-

Cropthorne
This ancient village on a gentle hill
With nooks and crannies where time has stood still The Avon rolling majestically by
The buzzards that circle in the sky,
The black and white timbers crowned with thatch with mullioned windows and doors that latch,
The pretty church with bells that ring
to summon those with hymns to sing,
The Sheppey with its swathe of green where flocks of sheep once set the scene, A beautiful village with much to give,
A special place where friendly folk live.
