Overview of Marlborough

This site will give you all the information you need in order to move to Marlborough and help with integration into the UK.

Marlborough is situated in the picturesque rural north-east of Wiltshire.

Much of its great natural beauty is environmentally protected and it offers the discerning visitor a unique blend of modern attractions and facilities. Site of a twice-weekly market, the High Street is one of the widest in the UK and lined on both sides with characterful old buildings housing an array of high quality shops.

The town displays the confidence of wealth from times past, yet today remains vibrant and progressive with its own chic café culture and many independent shops.

A boutique cinema is now open this summer, adding to an already lively entertainment scene. There are all sorts of events for local residents and visitors alike. The traditional Mop Fairs held in October always bring in the crowds. Another draw is the annual Marlborough Literature Festival, an increasingly important event with something interesting for all ages and the Marlborough College Summer School, which draws lots of people to the town. Another popular annual event is the Marlborough Open Studios, usually held over several weekends in July, where local artists open up their studios, both in Marlborough and the neighbouring areas.

Walkers will enjoy the nearby Savernake Forest, to the southeast of the town. Head here during late spring for the bluebells and in autumn for the fantastic colours. The North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty encompasses much of the countryside around Marlborough and there are ample walking and cycling routes throughout this area. Marlborough is also located very close to the Avebury World Heritage Site.
