White Horses & Hill Figures Exhibition at Devizes Heritage Museum: 27th March to 3rd October

We are delighted to have been involved in the new exhibition at the Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Devizes. This exhibition explores the major chalk hill figures carved into the landscape of Britain and includes the Ufffington White Horse, The Cerne Abbas Giant and the Long Man of Wilmington. The main focus, however, is on Wiltshire with its white horses and military badges. Each of the horses has its own display board with photos and information on its history, from creation to present day maintenance, and associated folklore and legends. Some of our photos have been used and there is also a digital display of 51 of our photos taken whilst walking The White Horse Trail. We wrote and sponsored a leaflet with a map and directions for a local walk which includes the Devizes Horse, the site of the Battle of Roundway and Oliver’s Castle, as well as a leaflet with basic information and photos of each of the White Horses. These two leaflets are available for visitors to the museum to take away with them. This is a fascinating exhibition and well worth a visit. It runs until 3rd October.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a summer school on 24th July featuring talks from the most well-known hill figure experts in Britain.

In the garden
 The garden is keeping us busy. We are now eating our own lettuce, potatoes, mange touts and cherries. The strawberries didn’t do too well in the greenhouse so we moved them outside. Bad mistake - all the leaves were eaten right away. As were the beetroot tops. We tried some tomatoes outside to stagger the crop a bit, but they too had their leaves trimmed. The culprits are either the pheasants or the deer.


We are adding walk photos to our Facebook page on a regular basis, and will also add information regarding special events, offers etc, as they become available, so keep an eye on us there. We are also now listed on Trip Advisor and have received some fantastic reviews. If you’d like to add yours, just click on ‘Add a Review’. Many thanks.

We had already adopted a number of green policies but are now making our commitment to green tourism official by joining the Green Tourism Business Scheme and are currently awaiting our inspection.
