On White Horse Hill, this large hillfort dates back to the Iron Age and lies next to the extraordinary Uffington White Horse, a prehistoric chalk figure. Combined, they make for a wonderful site to ramble about. The fort lies on the ancient Ridgeway, Britain's oldest road and numerous other hillforts reside in the area.

Uffington ‘Castle’, which occupies the summit of Whitehorse Hill, is a rare and outstanding example of a large Iron Age hillfort. The famous White Horse is the oldest chalk-cut hill figure in Britain, perhaps over 3,000 years old. Nearby Dragon Hill, a natural mound about 10 metres high, is named for its association with the legend of St George.
