Marlborough is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath. Marlborough boasts the second widest high street in Britain, after Stockton-on-Tees.
The town of Marlborough is at the heart of the Church of England Marlborough deanery in the diocese of Salisbury in the province of Canterbury. The rural dean has responsibility for the benefices of Marlborough, Ridgeway, Upper Kennet and Whitton which in total comprise 16 parishes. Of the town's two Church of England parish churches, St Peter's has been made redundant and converted into an arts centre. St Mary's remains in use for worship.

The nearest stations are Pewsey (6.7 m.), Bedwyn (6.9 m.), and Swindon (12.7 m.). Marlborough is well connected by road with the A4 from Hungerford to Calne, A346 from Tidworth to Swindon and A345 from Salisbury meeting there.
Every summer the town of Marlborough holds a jazz festival with local pubs, clubs, hotels and various other venues playing host to live jazz music over the course of a weekend.

A Whiz Around Marlborough High Street
Marq English and I are heading to Avebury, but on the way we stop at Marlborough, a fabulous medieval market town in Wiltshire. It has the second widest high street in the UK and a line of ancient buildings behind the shop fronts.
Curiously there are two churches set either of the high street. The narrow alleyways between the properties reveals the true age of the town on this important route to Bath. Sadly we don't have too much time to wonder about for our next port of calls, but I hop you enjoy the video.

Marlborough Market Town Wiltshire.
Marlborough is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath. It boasts the second-widest high street in Britain, after Stockton-on-Tees. The town is on the River Kennet, 24 miles (39km) north of Salisbury and 10 miles (16km) south-southeast of Swindon.
The earliest sign of human habitation is a 62-foot-high (19m) prehistoric tumulus in the grounds of Marlborough College. Recent radiocarbon dating has found it to date from about 2400 BC. It is of similar age to the larger Silbury Hill about 5 miles (8.0km) west of the town. Legend has it that the Mound is the burial site of Merlin and that the name of the town comes from Merlin's Barrow. More plausibly, the town's name possibly derives from the medieval term for chalky ground marl—thus, town on chalk. However more recent research, from geographer John Everett-Heath, identifies the original Anglo-Saxon place name as Merleberge, with a derivation from either the personal name of Mærle combined with beorg (hill), or meargealla beorg: hill where gentian grows. On John Speed's map of Wiltshire (1611), the town's name is recorded as Marlinges boroe. The town's motto is Ubi nunc sapientis ossa Merlini (Where now are the bones of wise Merlin).
Further evidence of human occupation comes from the discovery in St Margaret's Mead of the Marlborough Bucket, an Iron Age burial bucket made of fir wood with three iron hoops, a top bar and two handles; it also sports bronze bands decorated with human heads and mythical animals, and is now on display at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.

Travel Blog: UK Places - Marlborough, Wiltshire
Another episode of my travel blog featuring places in the UK. This episode I visit Marlborough in Wiltshire, a market town with the second widest high street in the UK. Marlborough is a town full of history, and worthy of a tour. It's on the A4 Bristol to London, and was a main thoroughfare for trade and travellers. It played a part in the English Civil War and was besieged by Royalist forces who subdued the Parliamentarian enemy. Nearby are Silbury Hill and Avebury, neolithic structures with their own history.
