The Uffington White Horse Project
The Uffington White Horse is the oldest hill-figure in Europe. This abstract, sinuous image was recorded in the Middle Ages as one of the Wonders of Britain – along with Stonehenge.

A new restoration and research project in 2024 will help us find more answers.

In the summer of 2023 we cleaned the Westbury White Horse to restore its iconic white appearance. The White Horse is a much-loved local landmark and symbol for Westbury and Wiltshire. It sits in an area of chalk grassland near the Iron Age fort of Bratton Camp, built 2000 years ago. Conservation work on the horse is a significant challenge due to the landmark’s size and location on a steep incline. Learn more about the challenges of conserving the White Horse here.
