Marlborough
Marlborough is a market community and civil church in the English region of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath. It boasts the second largest high street in Britain, after Stockton-on-Tees. The community is on the River Kennet, 24 miles (39 kilometres) north of Salisbury and 10 miles (16 km) south-southeast of Swindon. Marlborough has a nautical environment rather affected by its inland position and also at 124 metres' elevation is more susceptible to frost than southern coastal areas. In 2004 Marlborough celebrated 800 years of its Town Charter. Among the events were a street play by the Marlborough Players entitled Wheels of Time, and a visit from HRH Prince Charles.
