🌕✨ The Beaver Moon Over Hungerford! 🦫🌙

As November’s chill settles over our beautiful town, the Beaver Moon rises — one of the most enchanting full moons of the year. Historically, this moon signalled the time when beavers built their lodges and prepared for winter — and here in Hungerford, it reminds us of our own connection to the land, water, and the natural rhythms that have shaped this community for centuries.

Take a stroll along the Kennet & Avon Canal, or pause on Hungerford Common, and watch as the silvery light of the Beaver Moon reflects across our town — a perfect moment to slow down and appreciate the season’s calm beauty. 🌌

📸 We’d love to see your photos of the Beaver Moon over Hungerford if the cloud cover allows!!
Tag us and share your photos!

The cows have officially, nearly, left Hungerford Common for the winter (a few remain until next week)… but let’s just say they’ve left plenty of evidence of their presence🐮💩

We’ll miss seeing them roam — but maybe not dodging their “souvenirs”! 🌱😅

At least the mushrooms don't seem to mind!!

🐄🐄My Goodness, We Will Miss Them! 🐄🐄

Tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to these wonderful animals as they head back to the farm for winter.

Thank you so much to everyone for taking such good care of the cattle this Summer.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed!

Ah we are loving these photos!! Thank you both so much for sharing!!

Had some hilarious encounters with a couple of them trying to lick my car as though it was another cow! One of the best things of countryside living..you just can't hurry them up..we should take a leaf out of their book! (Apologies to those affected by my lateness to work on occasion!)

This is in April, the cows have just arrived on the common.

Thank you - it’s been wonderful seeing my little girl enjoying the cows this summer - reminds me of when I used to stand here patting them myself at her age ❤️

Millie and I will miss them to on our walks! Xxx

A few more from Saturday

Wishing the boys and girls a warm and comfortable winter.

Good job 👍
