The Castle, the dragon & the white horse Uffington

Prehistoric Uffington White Horse

Soon as we arrived, we both looked to our left and just gasped “wow”, what a view! Not to mention one of the best placed picnic bench’s, on the edge of the car park overlooking the Chilterns and the Cotswolds. Perfect for those who are unable to walk far from the car, but want to enjoy a picnic with a view!

The moment you enter the pasture, you cannot miss the giant white horse carved into the hill. Though you cannot appreciate the complete view from this perspective, being that both your close distance and the angle you are at obscures it’s view.
