A lovely town located on the Wiltshire cycleway. Features a lovely abbey as well as lots of independent shops and cafes. Would particularly recommend the Summer Café or The Birdcage. If passing through early in the day there is a huge choice of fantastic bakery's selling all the classics.

Birdcage open every day 12:00 - 21:30.

Summer café open Mon to Sat 7:30 - 17:00 and Sun 9:00 - 16:00.

"Malmesbury (/ˈmɑː(l)mzbəri/) is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries.

Once the site of an Iron Age fort, in the early medieval period it became the site of a monastery famed for its learning and one of Alfred the Great's fortified burhs for defence against the Vikings. Æthelstan, the first king of all England, was buried in Malmesbury Abbey when he died in 939."
