Great Thurlow is a small, largely rural village in the district of West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk in England. Set among rolling arable fields and hedgerow-lined lanes, it sits alongside its neighbour Little Thurlow and feels a world away from the larger market towns that are within easy reach, such as Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds.
The village has a quiet, village-community character built around a historic manor and a parish church, with local life shaped by farming, estate activity and commuting to nearby towns. Social life tends to centre on traditional village fixtures - the church, the village hall and occasional fêtes and walks - so it retains a strong sense of local identity and history despite its proximity to larger centres.
