NO IDEA if the map is right here so directions given Wantage (12km ENE)…read more A place of legend and a good day out if you combine it with the other places in the area..see my Wayland's Smithy. Picnic here..spend the day..the views are beautiful. We have to speculate here. It is called a horse but is it really a dragon? Only you can decide. The area would be quite difficult for the disabled. The Uffington white horse can be seen from up to twenty miles away in good conditions. It can be seen close up from the top of nearby Dragon Hill, but is perhaps best viewed from three or four miles away The steep combe below the horse is known as the 'manger'. The ice-cut terraces to west are the 'Giant's Stair'. 'Dragon Hill' a natural outcrop with an artificially flattened top is just to the North. While the great expanse of 'Uffington Castle,' a hillfort dating from 700 bc, guards the southern approaches. Further a-field are the 'Blowing Stone' and 'Wayland's Smithy'. It is the largest of the horses being some 374 feet in length and 110 feet in height, constructed of trenches which are 5 to 10 feet in width and 2 to 3 feet deep and filled with chalk, this is a few feet above the natural chalk of the hill. The horse is in excellent condition being maintained by the National Trust. The edges are well defined partially consolidated with concrete (although well hidden) and the top edge reinforced with polypropylene netting. The Uffington white horse, one of only four that face to the right, is high on an escarpment of the Berkshire Downs below Whitehorse Hill ten feet or less wide, and its length of around 365 feet makes it over twice as long as the longest of the Wiltshire horses The horse can be found 1.5 miles due south of Uffington village on the Berkshire downs ( now in Oxfordshire). It is situated facing NW near the top (at approx. 800 ft) of a very impressive steep escarpment below the Ridgeway long distance footpath, Whitehorse hill and the Saxon hillfort of Uffington castle and above Dragon hill. There is convenient parking nearby at Woolstone hill and at Whitehorse hill. This high locale makes the horse difficult to view from close quarters it is seen rather better from most areas of the Vale of the White Horse. The White Horse is a highly stylised prehistoric hill figure, 374 feet (110 m) long, cut into the turf of the upper slopes of White Horse Hill The figure has been shown to date back some 3,000 years, to the Bronze Age. The horse is thought to represent a tribal symbol perhaps connected with the builders of Uffington Castle. The Uffington Horse is the symbol of Wessex Hall at the University of Reading, adopted in 1920 and still in use. Dragons Hill A bare patch of chalk upon which no grass will grow is purported to be where the dragon's blood spilled. Dragon Hill and is said to be the site where St. George, England's patron saint, slew the dragon. The blood from the dying dragon so poisoned the ground beneath that grass never grows there leaving the chalk scar we see today. Pillow Mound.Between the castle and the Horse lie a number of burial mounds, the most obvious being the Pillow Mound. These date from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages and are unusual in that they were reused for Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon burials. The Giants Stairs are a reminder of how the valley was created by scouring melt-water during the retreat of the last Ice Age. A terrace along the lower edge of the western slopes is thought to be the remains of medieval farming practice.

I'm so used to the winding back roads of Bath, the independent shops and the local way of life. So when my friends came down to escape the Big Smoke for the weekend I took full advantage of being a tourist for the day! We scratched off a couple of options; bus tour? 'We get on a bus everyday!' Trip around the Baths? 'I've already been on a school trip!' Boat trip? ... A resounding yes! With plenty of trips to choose from, we ended up going on the next one that was leaving the lock, and I'm really pleased we did. The hour round trip cost just £6 for a guided tour and some bread to feed the ducks. We saw the first corset factory in England, the lowest bridge in Bath and everything in between. An informative and fun way to spend an hour for locals and tourists alike!

At one point, pigs took over the city with 106 fully sized painted pigs dotted in every street, park and underpass. I won't bore you with history, but the history behind the project dates back to 863BC when Bladud and his pigs were travelling the country in search for a new residence when he, and his beloved animals, contracted leprosy. But, whilst travelling through Bath Bladud's pigs rolled in the hot mud around Bath's springs and were miraculously cured! Sadly, all the pigs have now been auctioned for charity, but you'll still be able to find one or two dotted around so keep your eyes peeled! The workshop which made the pigs is still there selling posters, cards and mini pig statues.

The animals were originally crafted by Victorian artisan Thomas Nicholls. They were painted, although the paint has since faded and the stone work is currently being cleaned and restored. This wall needs to be seriously bigged up because although connected to Cardiff Castle many visitors won't venture this far to the castles right and so will never see this curious site.

They're only just above head height so you can get a proper look at them. An exciting revelation occurred recently where the aardvark whose nose had been stolen got a brand new one. Sources say he is delighted. The reason I love this wall is because it inspired a lot of ideas that end up in 'Griffin's Castle', a book I remember reading when I was younger by Jenny Nimmo. In this book these stone statues all come to life, and it's an idea that's stuck with me every time I pass the animals on the wall. I swear sometimes I pass by and they're in different positions, but that's almost certainly my imagination.

Scott and Hywel are guaranteed to know your family History before you've taken three sips of your drink. Alan the landlord is possibly the driest person I've ever met and once you get past his frown he really is very nice and surprisingly happy!

Yes, to cure hiccups. I would recommend everyone have at least one drink in the Bali Glas though you'll probably end up having at least five because the place is bloody marvellous!
