At CNC, our Firearms Training Unit carries out some of its firearms training at Bisley in Surrey. And while it’s a quiet village, there’s a lot going on around it. The nearest town of Woking is only five miles away, and you can also easily commute from either Aldershot (20 minutes by car), or Guildford (25 mins).

While most of the area is countryside, it’s not difficult to see the city lights. Getting to London is easy, taking around an hour by car. Alternatively, you can catch a train from Woking station which will take you right into the capital.

But you don’t have to go to London for entertainment. Guildford is the largest town in the county, and it comes with a major shopping and entertainment hub. Families can also enjoy a trip to nearby Legoland, only 30 minutes away from Aldershot!

It’s also an ideal location for jetsetters. The major international airport, Heathrow, is very close by, and both Gatwick and Southampton international airports are under an hour’s drive away.

Being a small countryside town, you’ll be hard pressed to find a property in Bisley and the immediate area. However, Woking, Aldershot and Guildford are all great alternatives. Average house prices in these areas vary. Woking is above the national average, but Aldershot provides buyers with a more affordable option.

Overall, you couldn’t ask for a more traditionally British countryside. And, as a result, you’ll find no shortage of country pubs, with many gaining a good reputation for their food.

So, if you’re looking for a beautiful place to work with all of the perks of larger towns and cities, then Bisley could be ideal for you.
