Bratton Camp & Westbury White Horse

The original Iron Age hillfort defences were built at Bratton Camp over 2000 years ago. These earthworks protected a settlement containing round houses, granaries, stores and workshops.The site was excavated in the 18th century. However, three thousand years earlier a Neolithic long barrow existed on this hill, and later excavations in the 19th century uncovered human skeletons and cremations.

Beautifully composed landscape. I like the way you have included the white horse and the path winding along the hillside. Nice PiP's too. I like the Dulux dog. They are so friendly and remind me of a friend's Beardies who are quite similar in appearance.

A great aerial perspective, Rosa. I love the fact the middle ground looks like a gigantic patchwork quilt. Cheers, Joe

Lovely images, Rosa and it's good to see the white horse there. With views like that, I can see why it appealed in earlier times as a defensive site.

Wow! Such a fantastic view from up there............I've seen the white horse from a distance, but I've never been up close to it like this. The patchwork of fields in the middle distance is just lovely and the beautiful blue sky tops it all of nicely.

I love the dog...........it must be very hot under all that fur! I also like the couple sunbathing and enjoying the view..........just perfect.

Can you get anywhere near this by car............or is it a bit of a walk?
