  • 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.

The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors. Please take the time to read the details of the consultation and, if you are willing, use link below to respond: www.surreysays.co.uk/legal-and-democratic-services/libraries The further link to the on-line consultation is at the bottom of the ‘Have your say’ page you first reach.

Wealden Greensand Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Dramatic hills, village, views, extensive heath Lion’s Mouth Bird's Eye View Leg 2 Thursley Leg 1 Leg 3 Devil’s Punchbowl www.fancyfreewalks.org Page 1 In Brief This walk takes you from the Devil’s Punch Bowl over the remarkably desol- ate landscape of Kettlebury Hill and back through the pretty village of Thursley, giving you on the return leg an intimate view of the Punch Bowl from its gentle depths. There is one long descent and one long ascent, near the start and finish, and a few easy ups and downs. Except in a wet winter, the ground is mainly sandy or dry, making the walk pleasant under- foot. There are nettles on the path just after Thursley, making bare legs inadvisable. The route seems fine for a dog, provided you keep him on a tight lead in the sheep pastures and in the Punch Bowl area where the highland cattle run free. The walk starts at the National Trust Punch Bowl car park, postcode WC GU26 6AG , small charge to non-NT members.

  • Milford to Haslemere Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Milford to Haslemere walk Its surprising how remote Surrey can be, pretty lakes, heathland, and Devil's Punchbowl as well. Thursley, Hindhead & the Devil's Punch Bowl Length 18.7km (11.7 miles), 5 hours 15 minutes. For the whole outing, including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9 hours. Toughness 6 out of 10. OS Maps Explorers OL33 (was 133) & 145 or Landranger 186. Milford, map reference SU 955 414, is in Surrey, 3 km south- west of Godalming. Features This is a lovely walk, with remote heathland and some pretty lakes in the morning, and Devil's Punchbowl and Gibbet Hill in the afternoon. Good in high summer, as in the woodland you have trees for shade, and in late July and August, the heather on the Commons is a sea of purple. A long walk along a road out through Milford is rewarded by the beauty of the landscape beyond. Bagmoor Common Nature Reserve’s heathland of purple moss grass and heather, and woodland of oaks and Scots pine, leads on to the lakes of Warren Mere and across to the village of Thursley which has a fine old church and your lunchtime pub, the Three Horseshoes. Mainly you are walking through National Trust land, sandy bridleways through ancient established woodlands and the heather, gorse and bilberry of the heathland. Thursley Common suffered from a major fire in 2006, leaving a burnt-out moonscape. Thankfully, the Common has recovered very well, with the return of heather and gorse, although evidence of the devastating fire can be seen to this day by the burnt bark on some trees which survived.
