The Three Horseshoes Pub, Thursley

Highlight • Pub

Beautiful village pub with outdoor seating at the front and a beer garden at the back. The pub itself is super friendly - carpet, nice staff, fire... nothing more needed. Also Thursley is a very pretty little village with many pictures houses and corners.

Devil's Punch Bowl Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Great path with even greater off-roading possibilities to each side. Path is possible to ride with road bike if you are not to fussy about the tires and wheels; I would recommend a gravel bike or at least a bit bigger tires.

Celtic Cross on Gibbet Hill

Highlight • Monument

The Celtic Cross on Gibbet Hill is closely related to the reason Gibbet Hill is so called.

Three thieves were executed and their bodies hung on the hill as a warning to others. They murdered an unknown sailor they had befriended in the Red Lion in nearby Thursley. His memorial stone is closeby. Locals began to fear the area so in 1851, Sir William Erle erected this cross to show that it was safe.

Devil's Punch Bowl Quiet Lane

Highlight • Trail

Quiet lane around the punchbowl which used to be the old A3 which is now a by-way, great way to access trails.
