A Bronze Age white horse I’ve cycled to on many occasions from Brize Norton during my childhood in the 1970s. On a clear day the blue aircraft hangar at RAF Brize Norton can be seen from this spot.
Fay Godwin made a series of photographs here and at Wayland’s Smithy in the 1970s. Unfortunately I never met her during my numerous cycling trips to the area.
St George is said to have slain the dragon on the lower slopes to the left of this photo. Grass no longer grows on top of Dragon Hill where the dragon’s blood was spilled.

Amazing perspective…never seen it portrayed like that before…I like it lots.
Thanks Paula 🙂
Super shot Simon!
Cheers Adrian!
Superb – I like the angle and it really suits black and white. Film or digi?
Carol.
Thanks Carol. This one’s another digi shot from a few years ago. Will be getting to use a couple of film cameras over in France and Belgium soon, hope to post a few photos from the results.
An incredible image and I so loved that you shared the story behind it!
Thank you. It’s a place I’ve always loved and enjoyed visiting.
Magic keeps permeating that place.
You’re right, it’s magical, people are always drawn back.
