The High Street of Hungerford and Beyond: a guided walk
Hungerford is full of interesting history. The town was laid out as a new town in the 13th century, and the heart of the town retains its medieval roots. Many of the High Street buildings are timber framed. However, a number were modernised during the hey-day of the coaching era, which brought so much prosperity to the town. This guided walk will cover the history of the town, key buildings in the High Street, Church Street and The Croft, before ending in Bridge Street.
The meeting place will be notified a few days before the walk.Â
Numbers are limited, so pre-booking is required.
