==Geography== [[File:Stanford Brook on Stanford Common - geograph.org.uk - 701314.jpg|thumb|Most of the parish is lightly or densely wooded, such as at Stamford Common.]] Pirbright has two communities: army training barracks and designated homes are north of a [[South West Main Line|London main axis (south-west) railway]] and the slightly [[dispersed settlement|dispersed]] village is south. The village is almost entirely surrounded by [[heathland]], much of it owned by the [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] and used by the [[Army Training Centre Pirbright]].<ref name="PPC">{{cite web|url=http://www.guildford.gov.uk/GuildfordWeb/Council/ParishCouncils/Pirbright.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070912022016/http://www.guildford.gov.uk/GuildfordWeb/Council/ParishCouncils/Pirbright.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 September 2007|title=Pirbright Parish Council|date=12 September 2007|access-date=28 February 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/parishfinder.php?pirbright|title=Church of England parish map.

The south-west of the parish has a large military training area, Pirbright Common. Near to the church are several features due to Stanley's association with the village: Hodge Brook is equally marked as Congo Stream, between [[Rwenzori Mountains|Ruwenzori]] Hill and Stanley Hill. Mazamboni Farm is next to [[Aruwimi]] Wood.
