Welcome to Tattingstone White Horse

Tattingstone White Horse is a chalk figure located in Suffolk, England. It is situated on a hillside overlooking the village of Tattingstone and is visible from miles away. The horse measures 20 meters in length and 12 meters in height, making it one of the largest hill figures in the country. The origins of the Tattingstone White Horse are unclear, but it is believed to have been created in the 18th or 19th century.

The Tattingstone White Horse has undergone several restorations over the years. In 2003, the horse was restored by the Tattingstone Wonder Group, a local community organization. The restoration involved removing the overgrown vegetation and re-chalking the figure. The horse was also given a new eye, which had been missing for many years. The restoration was funded by donations from local residents and businesses.

The Tattingstone White Horse is a popular attraction for visitors to the area. It is a symbol of the local community and a reminder of the area's rich history. The horse is also a popular spot for walkers and hikers, who enjoy the stunning views from the hillside. The Tattingstone Wonder Group continues to maintain the horse, ensuring that it remains a prominent feature of the Suffolk landscape for years to come.
