There are so many ways to approach Marlborough, and even more ways to describe this unspoilt but vibrant market town. Which ever direction you do arrive from, it will involve narrow roads bending and twisting, travelling over hills and through valleys and then before you know it you are in the High Street, allegedly Britain’s second widest or one of the largest in Europe, however guide books choose to describe it, there is no doubt it is wide and spacious. Even on busy market days (Wednesday and Saturday) there is still an air of calm and room to breathe and roam.
