You might not realise, but Wiltshire is actually full of white horses This is one of the more recent ones, said to have been cut in 1837 by the Parish Clerk of Broad Hinton to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria.(What? You thought they were all Neolithic? Nope the Victorians had a bit of a fashion going for them). It’s also quite small, being 27 metres high. You can get a pretty good view from a car as you drive up Hackpen Hill, though I scared my mum by leaning out the window to get a picture(I WAS looking out for traffic coming the other way lol). Apparently the field underneath is a favourite place for crop circles to appear. In fact, if you turn the map to satellite/hybrid view, you’ll currently be able to see the horse and a rather fine crop circle to the North West The horse is also known as the Broad Hinton or Winterbourne Bassett white horse, after nearby villages.
