Parks & Nature
Originally site of an Iron Age hillfort over 2000 years ago it is much visited now for the White Horse, cut into the landscape around the late 1600's to commemorate the much earlier Battle of Ethandun in AD 878.
It is a great spot for a picnic, and the perfect place for flying a kite. It has plenty of space for children to play and run around, and there are fantastic views over the surrounding Wiltshire countryside - still somewhere I visit with my children.
