Malmesbury is a historic market town located in Wiltshire, England. Known as "Queen of hilltop towns", Malmesbury is steeped in over a thousand years of history. It's particularly noted for its stunning 12th-century Malmesbury Abbey, once a significant site of learning during the Anglo-Saxon period. Although partially ruined, the Abbey remains a vibrant parish church with a lively calendar of events. The Abbey House Gardens, also known as the 'Naked Gardeners' Gardens', are a spectacular sight, especially during spring and summer when they burst into colour. The town's High Street is a blend of historic charm and modern conveniences, with a host of independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs.
Situated in the southern Cotswolds AONB, Malmesbury provides a great base for exploring the surrounding area. To the north, you'll find Cirencester, known as the 'Capital of the Cotswolds', rich in Roman history. To the east lies Swindon, a larger town offering a variety of shopping and entertainment venues, as well as the STEAM Museum, dedicated to the history of the Great Western Railway. Travelling west, visitors can explore the city of Bath, famed for its Roman-built baths and stunning Georgian architecture. Southwards, the landscape opens into the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, with attractions such as the world-renowned Stonehenge and Avebury stone circles. With its rich history, friendly community, and the beauty of the surrounding countryside, Malmesbury makes a memorable visit or stay.
