The Uffington White Horse

One of the things that the girls said they'd like to see while they were here was the White Horse. So of course, I obliged as I had never been there myself. What a perfect opportunity to see something so monumental before moving back. Plus, it was only a short distance off our route home, so it worked out quite well. As per usual I did my home work and printed off the page of information from the link above and gave it to Krystle to read on our way there. After a few scenic turns along the way, we finally made it! Luckily the weather was on our side so we didn't have sheets of rain to compete with, just a bit of a breeze. But when you're that high up what else would you expect? Again, the views were stunning and we had a lovely walk up to the Horse itself (despite not being able to see the whole thing) and also to the Dragon Hill. The web page had a good history of the legend behind Dragon Hill, as well as the White Horse which made the vista even more enlightening.

I think this looks like a dried up river or lake. Plus the ridges on the left look like a glacier passed through there at some point.
Dragon Hill. The white on top of the hill is supposed to be the blood of the slain dragon.
