The Mysterious White Horse

In our history class at school we're doing a project about local history, so our teacher took us to visit a fascinating place near the village of Uffington, about half an hour from Oxford. There, in a beautiful open space, is an amazing white horse which is 'drawn' on the hillside.

Who created this White Horse, and why was it made? Well, historians say that an Iron Age tribe used to live there, and they created it as a sign of their territory. Certainly, the horse must be very old, because an almost identical figure appears on gold coins which were found in the area, and which date from the first century BC.

What fascinates me is how people were capable of creating such a perfect figure when they couldn't see it from above! How could they see clearly what they were doing, when they didn't have planes or even balloons? To make the White Horse, they had to dig large holes in the grass and then fill them with chalk – the soft white stone which is very common in this area.

If you go to this part of England, you must visit the White Horse. It's an amazing place full of historical interest and mysterious stories. For example, legend says that Saint George killed the famous dragon near here, on Dragon Hill. There's also an Iron Age hill fort nearby.
