🐄 A little update from Hungerford Common…

You may have noticed fewer cattle on the Common recently. The farmer’s cattle were picked up earlier this week, but the Town and Manor’s cattle are still grazing for a little while longer.

As soon as we have a confirmed date for their departure, we’ll let everyone know.

In the meantime, please bear in mind that there are still cattle on the Common and to keep dogs under close control. 🐾

🍄💚 10th October – National Fungi Day & World Mental Health Day

Today marks two important days – National Fungi Day and World Mental Health Day – and here in Hungerford, there’s a lovely connection between the two.

Autumn is a wonderful time to get outside and notice the changing natural world around us. Keep your eyes peeled for fungi, including the unmistakable fly agaric – the bright red, white-spotted ‘fairytale’ toadstool that looks as though it has come straight from a storybook. 🍄

But while you’re looking, take a moment for yourself too.

Whether it’s a peaceful walk across Freeman’s Marsh, some fresh air on Hungerford Common, or a gentle stroll alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal, we’re incredibly fortunate to have beautiful open spaces right on our doorstep.

Getting outside, moving our bodies, slowing down and spending time surrounded by nature can all support our mental wellbeing. Sometimes even a short walk can give us a chance to clear our heads, notice what’s around us and have a little breathing space from the pressures of the day. 🌿💚

So today, perhaps make time for an autumn wander. Look for the fungi, enjoy the changing colours, breathe in the fresh air – and look after yourself too.
And if you spot a fly agaric on your travels, we’d love to see your photos in the comments! 📸🍄

Happy National Fungi Day, and on World Mental Health Day, a reminder to look after ourselves and each other. 💚

🌿 Did you know that the Town & Manor of Hungerford is not the same organisation as Hungerford Town Council? Yes - we know it can be super confusing!

The Town & Manor is an independent charity with a unique history stretching back almost 800 years. It is managed by the Constable and Trustees for the benefit of Hungerford and its community.

Although we are separate organisations, we greatly value our relationship with Hungerford Town Council and love working alongside them and other local groups for the benefit of the town.

The Town & Manor estate includes much-loved places such as Hungerford Common, Freeman’s Marsh, The Croft and the Town Hall and Corn Exchange, along with other land, buildings and waterways around Hungerford.

That said - if ever there is a concern about any part of Hungerford, maybe an issue on the common, an over flowing bin, a tree that's fallen... please do let us know and we can at least point you in the right direction.

🐄🦆🦋 World Animal Day – 4th October 🐾💚

Today is World Animal Day – a day to celebrate animals in all their wonderful forms and to recognise the importance of protecting the wildlife and habitats with which we share our world.

Here in Hungerford, we’re incredibly fortunate to have nature all around us. From the cattle grazing on Hungerford Common, to the birds, insects and wildlife across Freeman’s Marsh, along the Kennet & Avon Canal, our rivers, meadows and green spaces. 🌿

And there’s even more to look forward to. 💚

We’re incredibly excited to see the Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve now being developed. This wonderful project will create and enhance vital wetland habitats, helping to support an even greater variety of wildlife and giving nature more space to thrive here in Hungerford for generations to come. 🦆🦋🐝

It feels particularly fitting on World Animal Day to celebrate not only the wildlife we already have, but also the work being done to protect, restore and create habitats for the future.

So today, why not get outside and enjoy it? Take a walk across Freeman’s Marsh, wander over Hungerford Common, or stroll alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal and see how many different animals, birds and insects you can spot.

And while you’re there, please help look after our wildlife – keep dogs under control around livestock and wildlife, take litter home and give animals the space and respect they need.

💚 Happy World Animal Day from the Town & Manor of Hungerford!

📸 We’d love to see your favourite photos of Hungerford’s animals and wildlife in the comments.

⚠️ A gentle reminder to drivers using the roads across Hungerford Common!!

We have recently noticed an increase in the speed of vehicles travelling across the Common, particularly during busy school-run times.

The Common is used every day by pedestrians, children, cyclists, dog walkers and livestock, so please take extra care, remain alert and observe the posted speed limits.
We understand that mornings and afternoons can be busy, but slowing down could make an enormous difference to everyone’s safety.

Please help us keep the Common safe for all who use it.

Thank you for your care and consideration.

📜 Did you know?

Hungerford’s history as a market town stretches back almost 800 years.

During the reign of King Henry III in the 13th century, the people of Hungerford were granted the right to hold markets and fairs, along with the Assize of Bread and Ale—which helped regulate the quality and price of these everyday essentials.

These rights were later confirmed during the reigns of Edward I and Edward III, with grazing rights on the royal estate around the town also being added.

It’s wonderful to think that this market tradition remains an important part of Hungerford today—our market still runs every Wednesday, both indoors and outdoors!

Pop along and support our wonderful local traders. 🌙
