The village benefits from being on the doorstep of Thursley Common, an area of 350 hectares of Surrey heathland, protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is in part a National Nature Reserve and in part owned by the Nation Trust to the south. With origins dating back to Saxon times the village of Thursley lies to the west of the main London to Portsmouth road within The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It is the archetypal English village with 12th Century parish church, the Three Horseshoes pub, village hall, nursery school and cricket pavilion, surrounded by equestrian and farmland.

There is an outstanding selection of schools in the area including Aldro, Puttenham C of E, Waverley Abbey, Barfield, St Hilary's, Amesbury, Barrows Hill, Charterhouse amongst many others. Acorns Nursery and St Mary's primary school, both in Shackleford, have excellent reputations. Godalming
has a good 6th form college.

There is polo at Hurtwood Park and Cowdray, racing at Epsom and Goodwood and sailing at Frensham Ponds and Chichester Harbour. Further leisure and entertainments centres can be found at the Spectrum Leisure Centre in Guildford and centres at Godalming and Haslemere provide a good range of activities.
