흥미로운 색상 선택이네요!

안개가 낀 날에도 멋진 전망을 볼 수 있는 곳입니다. 화이트 호스뿐만 아니라 오래된 언덕 요새인 브래튼 캠프와 그 뒤에 있는 예술 설치물도 있습니다.

James the Greater (the Latin 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church near Bratton was dedicated, was, together with his brother, part of the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark enumerates a list of the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—them he surnamed Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). They were said to have had strong tempers, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His tomb in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

As you make your way along Newtown Road, you are afforded lovely views of the Whitbury White Horse. This is one of the many chalk-horses carved into the hillsides of Southern England.

A good days walk over 3 hillforts - and a pub at either end!

A steep hill up from each of the three routes, but great views to enjoy once you're up.

The oldest of the Wiltshire white horses this was originally cut in 1772 and restored in 1778. There was evidence of an older horse here facing the other way, but no strong evidence suggests how old that was. In 1872/1873 the horse was considered to be losing its shape, it was re cut and edging stones added. In 1957 the horse was concreted to preserve it. For the runner the trails around the top of the horse are great fun and the 33-mile Imber trail also passes here. There are nice loops from the car park above the horse or from nearby Westbury.
