Hungerford sits at the western edge of Berkshire, nestled in the Kennet Valley where the river meets the Dun. It is a historic market town that has managed to retain its character, largely because much of the surrounding landscape belongs to the Town & Manor out of ancient right. This means you’ll find heavy-maned cattle grazing on the Port Down common land just a short walk from the High Street. The town is physically split by the Kennet and Avon Canal, which provides a steady focal point for walking and narrowboat traffic. Geographically, it’s a practical spot; you are right on the A4 and just a few miles from the M4, and the railway station sits right in the centre with direct links to London Paddington and the West Country. While it's widely known for the cluster of antique shops lining the main street, it functions as a proper working town with a secondary school, a library, and a traditional weekly market that has been running for centuries. It feels more like a gateway to the North Wessex Downs than a suburban outpost, maintaining a distinct sense of independence from the larger hubs of Newbury or Marlborough.
