Marlborough, Historic market town in Wiltshire, England

Marlborough sits along the River Kennet, with its wide High Street containing numerous Georgian buildings and traditional English architectural elements.

The Marlborough Mound, a prehistoric tumulus from 2400 BC, represents early human settlement and later became part of medieval castle fortifications.

The Marlborough Mop Fair, a traditional trading event transformed into a carnival, brings together local residents every October on the High Street.

Visitors can reach Marlborough via the A346 road, with regular bus connections to Swindon, while accommodation options include several coaching inns.

The town contains the Merchant's House, a restored 17th-century silk merchant's residence with original wall paintings and architectural features.
