The White Horse of Kilburn
Saturday 20th June 2015
Had to go to Thirsk today in the pouring rain. Coming back, the sun was breaking through, so we decided to go the scenic way back, via Kilburn and Coxwold. As we climbed the bank out of Kilburn, I noticed the sun shining on the White Horse and stopped to take the picture. It stands about 220 feet high, was created in 1897 by digging out the topsoil to the limestone base, then whitewashing it! Let into the hillside of Roulston Scar near Sutton Bank, it faces south west, overlooks the Vale of York and can be seen for miles.
