Turners Hill village stands on a steep ridge line at one of the highest points, (600 feet above sea level), of the Sussex Weald where two historically important routes, the B2110 and B2028, cross. There are impressive views from the centre of the village to both the North and South Downs. The Parish encompasses the village centre, Worth Abbey and Turners Hill Park.

The village centre has been designated as a conservation area, and here also lies the village green, which together with the shops and the Crown Hotel, forms the focal point. The older parts of the village have retained a character and charm of their own. Many buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries and a number are listed.

Although a compact village, it boasts four pubs: The Crown, Red Lion, Punch Bowl and The Cowdray Arms. The Church of St. Leonard's stands on a ridge. Bell-ringers from all over the county visit St Leonard's to ring its peal of eight bells.
