One of Hungerford’s greatest assets is the Kennet and Avon Canal which runs through the heart of the town. The proximity of this tranquil and accessible waterway allows many opportunities for boating and barge trips. Please see below for listings:

The Rose of Hungerford

The 55 -ft long 'Rose of Hungerford' was purpose-built along the lines of a traditional canal barge. Beautifully painted and decorated with roses and castles in the style of former working boats, the 'Rose of Hungerford' is based at the old and picturesque Canal Wharf.
