Rake is a little village sitting astride the border of Sussex with Hampshire, at the very north-west of Sussex and the east of Hampshire. The border here runs parallel to the B2070 road between Liphook and Petersfield. Most of the village is on the Sussex side: its single remaining pub, the Flying Bull, formerly named The Two Counties Inn, has the border running through the middle.[1]

Immediately to the south-west, also on the county border, is Hill Brow.

Sport and leisure

Two long-distance walks pass through the village: the Sussex Border Path and the Serpent Trail.
