I suddenly have three days free based in Marlborough later this week and would be grateful for any suggestions; on the list is Calke Abbey and Avebury, more ideas anyone?

The Uffington White Horse isn't too far away. A different style of White horse, and much much newer, at Pewsey, and there is one at Marlborough as well, if I remember correctly.
Stonehenge of course.
Kennet and Avon canal.
The Ridgeway on a misty morning.

How about Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow. Both near to Avebury.

Marlborough itself has lots of old buildings. It also has lots of interesting people for 'street' photography.

Savenake Forest and West Woods are worth a visit for a bit of natural colour. The local downs have a lot to interest the landscape photographer.

Crofton Beam engines are not far away, unfortunately closed for the winter now. Used to keep the highest part of the Kennet and Avon canal wet when it opened in 1809. The canal itself has interest, lots of locks and other interesting buildings.

Thanks both, that all looks pretty promising; just need some nice light!
