  • Thursley Welcome Pack
    Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley Welcome Pack 1.0 Introduction Welcome to our parish! This document is intended to provide you with a brief introduction to the history and the facilities available in our parish. 2.0 Thursley Parish Thursley has a comparatively small population (approx. 600) resident in one of the larger parishes (8 sq. miles) of the 21 in the Borough of Waverley, South West Surrey. The parish runs south from its border with Elstead Parish to the southern edge of the Devil’s Punch Bowl near Hindhead. Many years ago, the parish boundaries of Thursley extended as far as Haslemere, but now they are curtailed. They run around Thursley Common, including Warren Mere, and cut across to Bowlhead Green almost to Brook, then back past Boundless Farm to the Devil’s Punch Bowl. They then continue round the bowl to Pitch Place, down to Truxford and back on to the common again. Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley has a cricket green, a large recreation ground which allows parking and a play area upgraded in 2015 as a result of community funding. It attracts many visitors who come to see the village and the local commons via the extensive footpath and bridleway network. The Greensand Way runs through the parish. Bowlhead Green also has an attractive green, and is more agricultural in character than Thursley. Pitch Place has Hankley Common to the north, the orchards and fruit farms to the south and tracks that lead to Hindhead Common and beyond. In popular myth the name Thursley is of Scandinavian origin, meaning the “sacred grove of Thor”, the Norse god of thunder.

See Principles on main webpage. Woodland, moorland, villages, ancient bridges In Brief This is a most interesting circular walk, suitable for all times of the year provided that conditions are not too wet. It passes through some marshy natural Surrey landscapes of unmatched beauty and after every turn there seems to be a surprise. There is some boggy ground which can generally be skirted round, but good ankle-length boots are needed to cope with two short very muddy sections. There are very few gradients, making this walk calming and relaxing. There are a few patches of nettles, so long trousers are preferable. This walk is fine for a dog * but please be aware of the ground-nesting birds and the private grounds. [* 2020: new mesh fencing around some stiles is now a problem for a dog that can’t easily be lifted.] There are several excellent places for refreshment en route (for Shackleford reservations at the Stag on the Heath River , ring 01483-421-568) .
