Hungerford is one of those small middle English towns that one might just pass through. But like all such towns, it has history, it has interest, it is worth visiting.
How about John of Gaunt, a key meeting of the Glorious Revolution, the Kennet and Avon Canal, Freemen and Tutti Men?
Is that whetting your appetite to find out more?

Thanks Graham and thank you for a superb tour yesterday. It was both interesting and amusing which we love! Everyone really enjoyed the whole day and are now eager to book my next one, which is great.
Was very knowledgeable, and communicated to all of us easily and thoughtfully.
Graham has been a Blue Badge guide on quite a few of our specialist river trips on the Thames. He is a very informative guide and professional and it is a pleasure to work with him”
