White Horses of England
The White Horses of England are large chalk hill figures carved into the landscape, primarily found in southern England. These iconic images, often depicting horses, are created by removing the topsoil to reveal the white chalk beneath. The most famous of these is the Uffington White Horse, which dates back to the Iron Age and is located in Oxfordshire.
These figures serve both artistic and historical purposes, representing a connection to ancient cultures and local folklore. The White Horse of Kilburn and the Westbury White Horse are other notable examples, each with its own unique history and significance in the region.
