Our View
Ashford Hangers NNR, near Petersfield, forms part of the mainly wooded escarpment where the Hampshire chalk plateau meets the lower Weald. One of Hampshire’s most beautiful woodland areas, these 323 acres of beech hanger are made up of a series of hills running east from Stoner to Wheatham, offering magnificent views over the surrounding area. The name ‘Hanger’ comes from the Old English hangra meaning a wooded slope, and make an important contribution to the wooded character of the area. Among the birds of prey found on the Hangers are raven, buzzard, sparrowhawk, kestrel, hobby, red kite and tawny owl while little egret, kingfisher, bullfinch, pied and spotted flycatcher, hawfinch and bullfinch can be seen by the streams and in woodland. Butterflies include purple emperor, silver-washed fritillary (whose caterpillars rely on violets as their food plant), white admiral, white letter hairstreak, ringlet, marbled white, chalk hill blue and Essex and small skipper.

About the area
Discover Hampshire
Hampshire’s varied landscape of hills and heaths, downlands and forests, valleys and coast is without rival in southern England. Combine these varied landscapes and terrains with secluded and idyllic villages, complete with thatched and timber-framed cottages and Norman churches, elegant Georgian market towns, historic ports and cities, restored canals and ancient abbeys, forts and castles, and you have a county that is paradise for lovers of the great outdoors.
If you’re a walker, stride out across the high, rolling, chalk downland of the north Hampshire ‘highlands’ with far-reaching views, walk through steep, beech-clad ‘hangers’ close to the Sussex border. Or perhaps take a gentler stroll and meander along peaceful paths through unspoilt river valleys, etched by the sparkling trout streams of the Test, Itchen, Avon and Meon. Alternatively, wander across lonely salt marshes and beside fascinating coastal inlets or, perhaps, explore the beautiful medieval forest and heathland of the New Forest, the jewel in Hampshire’s crown.
