The internationally-renowned Uffington White Horse is approximately 6 miles from Shrivenham. It can be seen from miles away and is a dramatic image on the edge of the Ridgeway National Trail. The mystery of why the horse was created still remains. It can only be seen fully from the air, so perhaps it was a sign to the ancient gods, or a mark of territorial ownership. Interestingly, it is the only one to face right. The horse is dated as 1000BC – others in the area date from the late eighteenth century through to 1937.
