Pewsey White Horse, Chalk horse figure on Pewsey Hill, England
The Pewsey White Horse measures 66 feet by 45 feet and stands on a steep slope facing northwest, about 500 feet above sea level.
The current horse figure was carved in 1937 by the Pewsey Fire Brigade, replacing an earlier 1785 design that had deteriorated beyond recognition.
This white horse belongs to a collection of eight remaining chalk figures in Wiltshire, reflecting the regional tradition of hillside carvings.
Visitors can reach the horse through footpaths from the top of Pewsey Hill, with viewing points available along the A345 road near Pewsey Village.
The Pewsey White Horse requires maintenance every eight to ten years, with a protective fence preventing damage from grazing animals.
