I went to Sutton Bank
the other week to see the white horse. I’ve been to one in Wiltshire but surprisingly
not to this one before. We parked at the top of the bank and followed the
footpath. I took some photos of the view and was surprised to see how
close we were to the gliders. They were just feet away from the path. We
watched as the plane took them into the air then let them go to glide on their
own – something which I wouldn’t dare to ever do, no matter how good a photo it
would make! We got to watch them land too, and it was quite a bumpy landing
for a couple of them.
Known as the Kilburn White Horse, it is 314 feet long and 228 feet high. You can get a better view of the horse from the picnic area at the bottom of the hill.
