We went to Sutton Bank
the other week to see the white horse; I’ve been to the 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, 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 bottom of the hill.
