Marlborough, in Wiltshire, had a population of around 9,100 at the 2021 census — a market town built around one of Britain's largest prehistoric mounds.
The mound behind the town's name
Within the grounds of Marlborough College stands Marlborough Mound, a Neolithic monument carbon-dated to around 2,400 BC and the second-largest prehistoric mound in Britain, after Silbury Hill five miles away. Local legend holds that the wizard Merlin is buried beneath it, and the town's name is sometimes said to derive from "Merlin's barrow" — recorded in the Domesday Book as Merleberge.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Marlborough shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Marlborough shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Swindon or Newbury for a wider selection.
