Marlborough - the centre for Wiltshire Walks, and because of its geographic location, a town through which most everyone will pass or visit during their lifetime.  But very few people take time to check on the history of the town, or  to investigate the little alleyways that run off the famous High Street. Inscribed on the Marlborough Coat of Arms is “Here lies the bones of Merlin”; the name Marlborough being reportedly derived from ‘Merlin’s Barrow’, but is more like to be either ‘Maere Leah’ - a boundary meadow or ‘Marl Barrow’ meaning a Mound or Mount of chalk, referring to the Mound in the College grounds.

We have several Guided Tours of Marlborough - a of which can be arranged as late afternoon or early evening strolls, but depending on demand, may be arranged as a daytime Custom Tour.
