A Cycling Journey

December 14, 2020

Marlborough is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath.

[...] The earliest sign of human habitation is the Marlborough Mound, a 62-foot-high (19 m) prehistoric tumulus in the grounds of Marlborough College. Recent radiocarbon dating has found it to date from about 2400 BC. [...] Legend has it that the Mound is the burial site of Merlin and that the name of the town comes from Merlin's Barrow.
More plausibly, the town's name possibly derives from the medieval term for chalky ground "marl"—thus, "town on chalk".
[...] The town's motto is 'Ubi nunc sapientis ossa Merlini' ("Where now are the bones of wise Merlin").
