Marlborough White Horse, Horse hill figure in Marlborough, England
Located in the grounds of Marlborough College, the white horse figure stands on Granham Hill, measuring 62 feet in length and 47 feet in height.
Students from Mr Greasley's Academy cut this chalk hill figure in 1804, with William Canning from a local family creating the initial design pattern.
The white horse remains part of Marlborough College's heritage, referenced in their school song and maintained through regular community involvement.
The site offers free access throughout the year, with designated parking areas and walking paths available for visitors exploring the figure.
Among the collection of white horses in Wiltshire, this figure stands as the smallest, requiring constant maintenance to prevent grass growth over its surface.
