Hackpen White Horse, Horse hill figure on Hackpen Hill, Wiltshire, England.
The Hackpen White Horse measures 90 feet in width and height, cut into the chalk hillside of the Marlborough Downs near Broad Hinton.
The parish clerk Henry Eatwell created this chalk figure in 1838 to mark the coronation of Queen Victoria alongside the Litlington White Horse.
Regular scouring events bring local volunteers together to maintain the white horse figure, continuing a long-standing tradition of community involvement.
Visitors can find parking at the hilltop where the Ridgeway meets the B4041 road, with a footpath leading directly to the chalk figure.
The Hackpen White Horse stands out among England's hill figures with its perfect square dimensions and raised profile against the surrounding grassland.
