Marlborough
Marlborough is a market community and also civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old highway 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 also 10 miles (16 km) south-southeast of Swindon. Marlborough has an oceanic environment somewhat affected by its inland setting and at 124 metres' altitude is much more vulnerable to frost than southern seaside areas. In 2004 Marlborough celebrated 800 years of its Town Charter. Among the parties were a street play by the Marlborough Players titled Wheels of Time, and a go to from HRH Prince Charles.
