Ride down Acreman Street for a marvellous view of the Cerne Abbas Giant.

Measuring at 55 metres (180 ft) high, the origin of the figure of a man wielding a club on Trendle Hill is unknown.

The chalk figure is often thought to be ancient, yet there is no evidence for its existence prior to drawings found from the early 1700s.

It is made from a series of narrow, small trenches filled with chalk rubble, and is maintained by the National Trust.
