Marlborough
Marlborough is a market community as well as civil church in the English region of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath. It flaunts the second best high street in Britain, after Stockton-on-Tees. The town is on the River Kennet, 24 miles (39 km) north of Salisbury and 10 miles (16 km) south-southeast of Swindon. Marlborough has a nautical environment somewhat influenced by its inland setting and at 124 metres' elevation is much more prone to frost than southern seaside areas. In 2004 Marlborough celebrated 800 years of its Town Charter. Among the events were a street play by the Marlborough Players titled Wheels of Time, and a visit from HRH Prince Charles.
