Thursley Loop
The Thursley Loop takes you around Thursley Common and Elstead, through the Thursley National Nature Reserve, one of the largest remaining fragments of heathland in Surrey. Discover an abundance of wildlife, spectacular views and the ‘Atlantic Wall’ used by Canadian troops to practice for the D-Day landings and an eye-catching sculpture of a dragonfly landing on a former electricity pylon.

- This loop is mainly on bridleways that are not suitable for road bikes.
- Certain sections of the bridleway will be muddy in the winter and soft sand in the summer so may require you to dismount and push through.
- All the trails are shared with other countryside users so please remember to ‘share with care’ and give way to horses & walkers.
- Most gradients are moderate but might include short steep sections. Keep an eye out for small technical trail features such as tree roots and rock.
