Rake Hanger is a 70-acre (28.2 ha) Site of Special Scientific Interest near Hill Brow on the border between West Sussex and Hampshire. The area has a footpath that goes along the foot of the scarp, forming part of the Serpent Trail long-distance footpath.
A hanger is an area of woodland on a incline and Rake is just one example of such that are liberally dotted across the countryside of the South Downs. Sessile oaks are found on the slope, whilst alder thrives on the wetter ground at the foot of the escarpment.
