Kilburn White Horse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Britain's largest and most northerly in England white horse figure is carved into the North York Moors hillside near the village of Kilburn. It was created in 1857 by school master John Hodgson and his pupils, together with local volunteers. During World War II the horse was covered over to prevent it from becoming a conspicuous navigation landmark for Luftwaffe bombers.
