At the Marlborough Bookshop there are over 5000 selected railway titles sorted under subject and publisher headings.

The stock also includes a selection of 30,000 black and white photographs.

Other areas include bound and unbound periodicals, railway paperwork, timetables and videos.

Although Marlborough is not on a rail route, an excellent bus-train service is available connecting with Thames Trains via Bedwyn and First Great Western at Swindon. The journey time from Reading via Bedwyn is about an hour and from Swindon between 35 minutes and an hour. Timetable information for First Great Western and Travel Line, which gives bus times from Swindon, is available from the links above.

Good on street parking is available with a large car park at the rear of Waitrose off Hilliers Yard. (Map)

Nevis shares the Katharine House Gallery with another well established secondhand bookshop. Built in 1588, Katherine House was formerly a rope factory and boasts oak-beamed ceilings and has a peaceful atmosphere. It is a Grade 2 listed building, and can be found at the end of the Parade. It is located away from the main shopping area next to the fire station and close to a large antiques centre.

Marlborough is a picturesque market town with good pubs and eating places. There is an excellent military bookshop in The Parade and another second-hand bookshop in Kingsbury Street.
