Trowbridge Hilperton의 White Horse Westbury

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

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.

For the best views of the Westbury White horse you need to leave your bike or push it about 100m across the grass to the escarpment.

There are over 1,200 hillforts in England, most of which occupy fantastic viewpoints and Bratton Camp hillfort is no different. In fact, it has a truly extraordinary vistas from its earthen ramparts. The camp sits just on the ridge between Westbury and Bratton, and immediately above the Westbury White Horse. There's a long barrow within the castle's fortifications estimated to be around 5,000 years old.

The Devizes Millennium White Horse is one of the most recent chalk figures cut in the UK, created in 1999. It sits up on an escarpment on Roundway Hill just north of Devizes and it's easily accessible by multiple footpaths and bridleways. You can view the horse from the south as well as from neighbouring Milk Hill. It's one of many past and present chalk horses on Wiltshire's hills.

Fantastic views and worth the pain getting to the top of the hill!
