The British summertime is notoriously sporadic and unpredictable, so when we were recently blessed with some beautiful weather, we jumped on the opportunity to get outside and make the most of it.
The White Horse at Uffington is the highest point Oxfordshire, with fantastic views for miles across 6 counties. Dating back to the Bronze Age, the site was once home to Uffington Castle and also includes Dragon Hill where St. George is said to have slain the dragon.
Access is made easier by the car park being situated some way up the steep ascent, meaning people of all abilities can go and enjoy the stunning vista. The attraction certainly seemed popular, as there were plenty of families, dog walkers, paragliders and picnickers all taking in the fresh air and vitamin D.
I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking to fill an empty afternoon. If you’d like more information then please visit the National Trust page.
