Hackpen Hill

Near Broad Hinton, Wiltshire

A chalk white horse looking down on one of the busiest crop circle hills.

Hackpen Hill, with its chalk white horse cut in 1838, overlooks fields that have hosted crop formations again and again since the 1990s. The Ridgeway, Britain's oldest road, runs along the top, so walkers often get the first view of a new pattern from above.
