Tips

Bratton Camp was originally an Iron Age hill fort built over 2,000 years ago to defend the settlement from its enemies.

Today the hill's most defining feature is the striking white horse cut into its slopes. Records suggest that the horse was made at the end of the 17th century to commemorate the Battle of Ethandun.

Despite its turbulent past, Bratton Camp is now a relaxing place to take a stroll. The chalk grassland is teeming with wildlife and insects. Look out for the rare Adonis Blue butterfly which can be found here.

You can visit any time during daylight hours. Entrance is free.
