A popular activity for those staying in cottages in Wiltshire is to visit the many white horses. Wiltshire really is the county for white horses. There are, or were, at least twenty-four of these hill figures in Britain, with no less than 13 being in Wiltshire. Most of them are chalk hill carvings; the downs of central Wiltshire make it an ideal place for such figures. The biggest and oldest is at Westbury, less than two miles from this Wiltshire cottage. It is also one of the best situated, being high on a very steep slope offering a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.
