Thurlaston is a small village and civil parish on the southern edge of the borough of Rugby in Warwickshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside a few miles from the town centre. Its setting of hedged fields, lanes and small copses gives it a distinctly rural feel, while its mix of older cottages and more recent homes reflects a village that has evolved from an agricultural settlement into somewhere many people now use as a base for commuting to nearby centres such as Coventry and Birmingham.
Community life in Thurlaston is centred on local institutions like the parish church, village hall and occasional village events, and there is an active interest in maintaining the local character and surrounding landscape. The area appeals to walkers and cyclists as well as to those seeking a quieter pace of life within easy reach of the services and employment of the wider Rugby area.
