Hungerford Wharf
Hungerford Wharf is a picture of tranquility on the Kennet & Avon Canal, lined with lush green meadows and weeping willows. But the wharf wasn't always so serene. Once a bustling industrial hub, it's now transformed into a haven for relaxation and outdoor pursuits. Take a canal cruise and glide past quaint villages and ancient locks. Pack a picnic and find a sunny spot to soak up the peace. Or, cast a line and see if you can tempt a wily pike from the depths.
Location: High Street, Town Centre, Hungerford, RG17 0DN
