The Kennet and Avon Canal crosses Freeman's Marsh to the west of Hungerford. It bisected the marsh when built in 1795. To the north, right, the marsh is a rural water meadow, through which the River Dun flows, and classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area to the south, left, is open grass land. The marsh is common land owned by the Manor and Town of Hungerford (these days a registered charity).
