Uffington White Horse: Plans to fatten up shrinking Oxfordshire chalk figure

Mr Cox said: “The Uffington White Horse is set in a dramatic landscape, shaped by nature and by people through time, and this is a hugely important chalk figure, partly because it is the oldest scientifically-dated example in Britain, dating back to the late Bronze Age.  “Through the efforts of generations of local people, it has been cared for and has survived as an iconic feature of this amazing landscape.”
