The Pewsey White Horse

On my way home from Wiltshire, I was diverted cross country to Marlborough and came across The Pewsey White Horse.

The white horse was cut by volunteers from Pewsey Fire Brigade in 1937 to commemorate the Coronation of George VI. Originally the date it was cut appeared above the horse, but this has since disappeared. This current horse replaces a lost 18th century one. It measures 66’ by 45’, making it the smallest of the eight canonical white horses in Wiltshire.
