...is the oldest chalk horse in Britain, at least 3000 years old. And it's in Oxfordshire! I've brought a few folk to see this in their travels. It's next to the remains of an ancient fort, known as Uffington Castle, but it's doubtful there was ever more than timber palisades here. Still, it's pretty cool, winding your way up a steep hill, wondering if your little hire car will make the distance, and battling fierce wind and cowpats up to the chalky bits. Cool.
