Really enjoyed this, thanks for writing. Growing up around Wiltshire I camped several times with my family under the Uffington White Horse. Reading about it here has a nostalgic quality.

Thanks - I've never been in person myself but am actually now planning to go this weekend, partially as a result of writing this. Looking forward to it a lot.

It’s a pretty glorious hike across the hill on which he resides, make sure that you do it!

Thanks for this obscure knowledge! I love Ravilious’ rendition of the horse.

Pleasure! I’m a big fan of Ravilious too, one of the most underrated British artists of the 20th century, I think, and not as prominent in the public’s consciousness as he deserves.
