Hungerford Wharf

Once a busy industrial canal wharf, Hungerford Wharf is now a picture of tranquillity. And a great place to start exploring the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal.

Lush green water meadows, weeping willows, water voles, kingfishers, sparkling chalk streams, quirky canal bridges - it's difficult to believe that all this lies just a short stroll along the towpath.

Green Flag Award

The coveted Green Flag, awarded to the best kept parks, beaches and green spaces across the UK, has, for the first time, been awarded to the entire length of the Kennet & Avon Canal.
