Vale of The White Horse

Watercolour looking along a grassy ridge towards a chalk cut figure of a White Horse on the top of the hill.

The White Horse on White Horse Hill, Uffington, Berkshire. The current view is that it was probably made as a tribal emblem during the late Bronze Age (c. 800BC). The design resembles the animal figures of Iron Age times and similar horses are to be found on coins of British tribes of that date, including the Atrebates of Berkshire.
