Alton Barnes White Horse
Alton Barnes White Horse is a chalk hill figure of a white horse located on Milk Hill some 1,000 metres north of the village of Alton, Wiltshire, England. The horse is approximately 180 feet high and 160 feet long, and was cut in 1812 under the commission of local farmer Robert Pile.[1] Pile instructed inn sign painter John Thorne to design and cut the horse, although Thorne conned Pile by leaving with his advance sum while employing local resident John Harvey to cut the horse instead. It is based on another white horse hill figure in Wiltshire, the Cherhill White Horse, and is the second-biggest of nine white horses in Wiltshire.
One of the county's best-loved and most iconic white horses, it remains a tourist attraction and has been regularly maintained throughout time, with numerous groups or individuals scouring the horse throughout its life. More recently, the horse was illuminated by candles every winter solstice for over ten years, as well as in a lantern parade to celebrate the horse's 200th birthday in 2012. The horse has also been transformed into a zebra on April Fools' Day on two occasions.

Alton Barnes White Horse Regeneration
The Alton Barnes white horse is a little under a mile north of the village of the same name in Wiltshire.Our job, on behalf of Natural England, was to restore the shape of the horse, and resurface it to make good the ravages of time.
A simple enough task on the face of it but one complicated by the fact that, because the horse is in an area of special scientific interest we had to airlift materials from a storage base to Milk Hill which stands just short of 300 metres high.
As reported earlier the project was delayed by thick fog but, the weather changed and we were able to successfully complete the project. We like to think we can rise to anything - and on this occasion we think we did!
