Hangersley is a small hamlet tucked into the western edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England, characterised by a scatter of cottages, converted farm buildings and lanes that thread through heathland and mixed woodland. The landscape here has the classic New Forest feel - open heaths, ancient oaks and beech, and the ever-present ponies and cattle that graze under the traditional commoning system, making it popular with walkers, riders and anyone keen on low-key rural scenery.

Historically the area sits within the bounds of the medieval royal forest, and that legacy shows in land use and local place names; today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, forestry, small-scale tourism and residents who commute into nearby towns. Socially it’s a quiet, close-knit community reliant on neighbouring villages for shops and services, with a lifestyle shaped by outdoor pursuits and the conservation interests of the National Park.
