Before the XBox & the codification of football, the populace had to fall back on carving figures into the sides of hills for their fun.

In 1780 a Dr Alsop decided he was going to create the #Cherhill White Horse on the slopes just below #OldburyCastle.

Given that the #Uffington #WhiteHorse we previously visited dates from the Bronze Age, all this was pretty old hat by then. But hey, it's still undeniably impressive.

Like Uffington it's best viewed from a distance. And like Uffington, the camera on my phone is still pretty lame. Apologies.
