Wiltshire is renowned for its White Horses, some dating back over 250 years. Eight of the horses still remain on view including: Alton Barnes (1812), Broad Town (1864), Cherhill (1780), Devises (1999), Hackpen (1838), Marlborough (1804), Pewsey (1937) and Westbury (1778).
The 'new' Devises White Horse was designed by Peter Greed, it was cut by around two hundred local people in 1999 to mark the millennium. It is on Roundway Hill to the north of Devizes, overlooking the village of Roundway. This horse is the only one in Wiltshire, and one of only four in Britain, to face to the right.
The Marlborough White Horse was created in 1804 it is a small but well-maintained horse. The Marlborough white horse is on a relatively shallow slope on Granham Hill, above the village of Preshute, just southwest of Marlborough.
