The authentic English town of Marlborough has its foundation dating back to pre-historic times. Any person fond of archeology can find treasures of pre-historic accounts in the mounds located at Malborough College. The local people associate the Mound as the burial place of Merlin and they sure have reasons for this legend, as the town name comes from Merilin's Barrow. This amazing market town is located at the well known Old Bath Road, which connects London and Bath.
Town's high street host amazing monuments of the county. Merchant's House, more than three century's old building is on the north of the high street and gets its name from the profession of its initial owner. Tourists often pay a visit to this amazing historical building as it still maintains the long gone glory of past.
One aspect of the town can be marked as the negligence of the government, as previously the town had two functional railway lines but now the town doesn't enjoy any direct rail access. People most often use the nearby railway stations that are connected to the town through good bus service.
The county of Wilshire is fortunate enough to have borders with several different counties including Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire and Gloucestershire. This provides an ample opportunity for tourists visiting this town to explore other towns located in these counties. Salisbury Plain which hosts many wonders of the world including Stonehenge largely lies in Wiltshire and can easily be accessed through Marlborough. So a visit to Marlborough brings extra fortunes of neighborhoods and some fascinating experiences of ancient antiquity.
