Marlborough - the layout of the
town is impressive and the architecture interesting. It
has a wide centre providing both good vistas and very
convenient parking. But there is another major attraction
- the Polly Tea Rooms. Here you can enjoy some of the
finest cream teas and ice creams.

Memorable
MG Routes series
This is the first Memorable MG Route in a new series lanched
in the revived Safety Fast! This route is from Newbury to Castle
Combe along the old A4 through Marlborough, Calne and Chippenham.
For sheer driving pleasure the A4, at times of relatively light
traffic, takes a great deal of beating. In many places the road
is open with long sweeping bends and occasionally you can still
see the characteristic "three lane" feature so familiar
from an earlier motoring age. There are many places of interest
along the route from country houses and estates to ancient stone
circles and mounds together with some enticing refreshment stops.

A
new series called Memorable MG Routes has been launched
Memorable MG Routes
are not simply about the tactile pleasure of driving the road, particularly
in an MG, but they are also about the interest along the route from
the views on the road, places to visit, sights to see and of course
refreshment at tea shops and pubs! More
Series will continue
A key feature of this series is contributions are welcome from members
with their own memorable routes. So suggestions for additional routes
will be very
welcome. A note with guidlines for the style, content and format of
the Memorable MG Routes series is available. More
