A pleasant short walk (taken as a rest point on our journey home from Stansted Airport after a week in Malta). The White Horse is a bit elusive. We walked all around it, including looking down from the summit, but it is pretty hard to get a good view of it in it's entirety from ground level. Apparently it's better viewed from the air - so looks like the Ancient Britains were ahead of the game in predicting the invention of the drone and helicopter! It is the oldest of all the white horses in the UK. More information - and better (aerial) photos - available here -

Trig point - not quite highest point - photo taken
on the ancient earthworks, which is the high spot. |

Stood above the white horse, looking down on it's
head & neck. Dragon Hill on the left - flat topped. |

The best view in terms of seeing all of the
white horse from ground level. |
