About Westbury White Horse

The Westbury or Bratton White Horse is a slope figure on the ledge of Salisbury Plain, around 1.5 mi east of Westbury in Wiltshire, England. Situated on the edge of Bratton Downs and lying just beneath an Iron Age slope fortress, it is the most seasoned of a few white steeds cut in Wiltshire. It was reestablished in 1778, an activity which may have pulverized another pony that had involved a similar incline.

A contemporary etching from the 1760s seems to demonstrate a steed looking the other way that was preferably littler than the present figure. There is, be that as it may, no documentation or other proof for the presence of a chalk horse at Westbury before 1742. The pony is 180 feet tall and 170 feet wide and has been received as an image for the town of Westbury, showing up on welcome signs and the logo of its traveler data focus. It is additionally viewed as an image for Wiltshire in general. The Horse can be seen from up to 16– 17 miles every which way.

From the pony, Westbury and Trowbridge can be firmly watched. From the highest point of the pony and Bratton Castle, Devizes White Horse and Alton Barnes White Horse can both be seen. The pony itself can't be seen from other slope figures, in spite of the fact that it very well may be seen from Solsbury Hill, home to a little turf labyrinth cut during the 1990s. One of the uttermost perspectives of the steed is said to be from Beckford's Tower in Bath.
