Malmesbury, Medieval market town in Wiltshire, England
The hilltop settlement stands at 146 meters elevation, encircled by the Bristol Avon River and its tributary, creating natural defensive borders.
Established as an Iron Age fort, Malmesbury received its borough status before the Norman invasion and appears in the 1086 Domesday Book records.
The Athelstan Museum presents local artifacts and art pieces, including a Turner watercolor, offering free admission to explore the town's extensive heritage.
The town center maintains a weekly farmers market every Friday, where local producers sell fresh products and artisanal goods to residents.
In 1010, a monk named Eilmer attempted the first recorded human flight from a tower, gliding approximately 180 meters before landing.
