Devizes White Horse, Millennium chalk horse figure in Roundway Hill, England
The Devizes White Horse measures 46 meters in length and height, featuring a distinct galloping pose on the escarpment of Roundway Hill.
Local volunteers carved this chalk figure in September 1999 to commemorate the arrival of the third millennium, replacing an earlier horse created in 1845.
The figure represents the eighth major white horse creation in Wiltshire, continuing the regional tradition of crafting large-scale chalk art on hillsides.
Visitors can reach the horse by following the A361 road toward Swindon and turning left at Roundway Garden Industrial Estate toward Folly Road.
This chalk horse stands as the only one in Wiltshire facing right, distinguishing it from all other horse figures in the county.
