+Derbyshire Dave Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Stunning isn’t it. Amazing to think how they would have got the idea for doing these all those years ago. Do you know how long it’s been there Phil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It is stunning. I've seen it a few times also the Cerne Abbas giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to think how they would have got the idea for doing these all those years ago. Do you know how long it’s been there Phil? I think it dates back to the 1800s. The one at Cherill (nearer to us) was done in the 1880s, with someone shouting instructions through a megaphone. The Uffington white horse is much older but when I saw it as a child, thought it looked more like a greyhound. It is possible that a few millenia of selective horse breeding has made them more like the body shape we know today. Also, ancient Britons did not have the use of a megaphone. If we did one today. we would probably use drones. The Uffington one is much more historic but I think the Westbury one is nicer looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
