Hungerford Common, or Common Port Down to give one of its many other names, is 220 acres (89 hectares) of ancient common land, permanent pasture, mature trees, canal and strip lynchets, to the east of Hungerford.

Both Commoners and Farmers, who buy rights to graze their cattle from the Town & Manor, produce a summer grazing herd of about 175 store cattle. These are raised either for beef production, or as dairy herd replacements.

Grazing cattle also has the benefit of helping to maintain the permanent pasture and keep the trees in shape.
