Freeman’s Marsh

An area of wet rough grassland between the Kennet and Avon Canal and the River Dun. There are streams and ditches with marshy edges that attract a range of wetland species, which have included rarities such as Glossy Ibis and Dipper. Freemans Marsh is a nature reserve owned by the Town and Manor of Hungerford and is an excellent site for Water Voles.
