The White Horse of Uffington

The White Horse of Uffington is an ancient hill figure in England, carved into a chalk hillside. It depicts a stylized horse and dates back over 3,000 years, likely created by the Iron Age communities. The figure measures about 110 meters (360 feet) long and has been maintained over centuries. Its purpose is still debated, but it may have had religious or territorial significance. The horse’s bright white chalk contrasts with the dark hillside, making it visible from afar and serving as an enduring cultural landmark and a symbol of local heritage.
