About

Marlborough West ward encompasses the western half of the historic market town of Marlborough, set within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area includes residential streets, local shops, and the notable Marlborough College grounds, which contribute to its character. The ward extends into the surrounding rural landscape, incorporating farmland and parts of the River Kennet valley.

The town's broad High Street, one of the widest in England, forms a central feature, lined with a mix of independent businesses and historic buildings. The area is defined by its proximity to ancient landmarks like the Marlborough Mound, a prehistoric tumulus within the college grounds.
