Situated on the River Dun in the Kennet Valley, the historic market town of Hungerford sits at the heart of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The North Wessex Downs is a unique landscape of tranquil open downland, ancient woodland and chalk stream, covering 668 square miles from Reading and Swindon to Andover and Devizes.
At the same time, Hungerford is only four miles from the M4 motorway and has a direct rail link to London, so is very accessible. The fact that you can have lunch in a proper country pub and yet be in central London an hour later is a great attraction for many.
