Marlborough is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire, known for its broad high street and historical buildings. Established in prehistoric times, the town grew in importance following the establishment of Marlborough Castle in the Norman era. Today, Marlborough's High Street, one of the widest in England, is a bustling hub of shops, restaurants, and cafes, hosting markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Key landmarks include the Merchant's House, a restored 17th-century silk merchant's house that offers a glimpse into life during the 1650s. Marlborough College, an independent boarding school, also contributes to the town's vibrant culture. The town is surrounded by significant prehistoric sites, including Avebury Stone Circle and Silbury Hill, which testify to the area's ancient history.
