About

Hungerford sits on the River Kennet in West Berkshire, inside the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs beside the river as it passes through the town, with a continuous towpath used by walkers and boaters. Hungerford railway station is on the Reading–Taunton line, giving direct rail links toward Reading and the west. The town occupies a narrow stretch of land where the river and canal lie close to the High Street, and local maps show the waterways threading through the central area rather than skirting it.

The town retains a market-town pattern around the High Street, where a mix of older buildings house shops, cafés and antiques dealers. A longstanding tradition of local markets and trade continues in small-scale stalls and specialist shops. Community life includes a local football club and riverside green spaces that people use for walking and informal recreation. Signage and street names reflect Hungerford’s history as a trading place along the Kennet corridor, and the riverside route through the town is a clear link between its commercial core and the surrounding countryside.
