Some of England's chalk hill carvings are difficult to see, either only visible from fast roads or too high to get a good vantage point from anywhere but the air. Not so for Osmington.

This carving is quite youthful, created in 1808, and can be easily seen from the footpaths immediately south near Osmington village. You can ascend the hill too, if you want to see the chalk cutting up close.

This is a great point from which to take a photograph, particularly if you can line up a nearby grazing horse in the shot. It's almost as if they know.
