Incredible Giant Hill Figures in England

"Kilburn White Horse – 318 ft long"
Moving away from Wiltshire to North Yorkshire, the Kilburn White Horse is said to be Britain’s largest in surface area and the most northerly in England. It was as created in 1857.

There’s something down there: Kilburn White Horse from the air.

Even with a hill figure this recent, there are differing accounts about its origins: some claim it was created by school master John Hodgson and his pupils alongside local volunteers; others give Uffington White Horse-inspired businessman Thomas Taylor credit as the main mover and director of the men who cut the figure and whitened the rock. The steep and unstable surface makes the horse hard to maintain. LINK
