From any direction, it is Selborne Hanger that commands first attention; the village being hidden from view, nestling some 85 metres below the ridge of the Chalk Scarp. The village and its Hanger are synonymous. When inside the village, the Hanger always feels present and is clearly seen from almost every point: sometimes close, sometimes more distant, but always there thanks to the clear space around the base; a continuous strip of village fields giving views that distance the settled area from the Hanger.
The village is visible from above from well-established viewing points on the Hanger, made famous and more accessible by the 18th C naturalist, Gilbert White its best known and most celebrated former resident. Selborne Hanger is The Hanger, but there are others on the Upper Greensand Terrace to the east: they are less dramatic, but add much to the diversity and beauty of the local landscape. The Lythes in the northeast of the village are the start of a continuous chain of greensand hangers that run through Candovers and on to East Worldham: to the southeast, the Adderhood and Oakshott Hangers twist and turn to link with the Squiresfield and Le Court Hangers of Empshott.
Selborne has sharply contrasting landscape and is defined by it: there are three immediate landscape character areas here. The village sits at the foot of the east facing and steeply wooded Hanger that wraps around Selborne Hill. This Hanger is the north eastern extremity of the Selborne to East Meon Scarp, topped and surrounded by large scale downland mosaic. The settlement area is linear in character and stretches along the junction of the Lower Chalk -Upper Greensand Terrace of East Hampshire.
Having been recognised as an area rich in bio-diversity, most of the landscape around Selborne has recently been included within a Biodiversity Opportunity Area, BOA , a designation that aims to reduce the fragmentation and isolation of protected sites and the ecological enhancement of areas around and between them. This protection has been superseded and strengthened by full inclusion in the recently created SDNP. Note: The name Hanger is derived from the Anglo Saxon, Hangr, and was one of many words used for woodland.
Others are still in use today, Wudu, wood, Graf, grove, Scaga, shaw. Others, Bearu and Fyrhp have been forgotten. We use Hanger for a steep wooded slope, but it is not clear to what types of woodland the Anglo Saxon names applied, but there are hints that it may have been used originally to describe a slightly concaved wooded slope.
