The Uffington White horse is by far the oldest of the White Horses that adorn many hillsides across the United Kingdom. Obviously a landmark that has been around as long as this one has some stories around it. I delve into these on this video.
I apologise for not having better footage of the horse. It's really better to see from the air or further away. Hopefully you still enjoy this video.
For the full video of my walk around White Horse Hill and the nearby Uffington Castle hill fort. Please go here - • UFFINGTON HORSE and IR...
As it was a beautiful day I stopped off an did a little time lapse while I ate some lunch. That can be found here - • UFFINGTON WHITE HORSE:...

Nice video! Glad you gave a shout-out to Wayland's Smithy 🥳 there's also a Roman temple further down the Ridge Way to the east, which may have once been a Celtic temple, and the area has long been recognised as a location of horse-breeders (there's gallops everywhere), so self-fulfilling prophecy or signpost? Really good folklore video! Keeping it alive 😄

I was gutted I didn't make it to Wayland's Smithy. Truth be told I visited on my way back from visiting a friend the night before, so I was a touch hungover. I do want to go back and do some more walking around the area so I'll add the temple to the list. Thanks for the heads up!

Really enjoyed this OWTB ( I feel bad not knowing your name... hehe, I'm Alessa btw, but would love to call you other than your channel name unless that's what you prefer :D ) But wow! Your narration paints a fantastic story, i felt captivated throughout. I've still not seen the Uffington Horse yet but it's on the list. Really enjoyed this! Thank you!

Hello Alessa! My real name is Ellis but feel free to call me whatever you like :). It's a lovely walk around the horse and there is even more in the area that I didn't get to. 100% recommended.
