A quick and potentially worthwhile stop with nice views, though not a major attraction in itself. The Westbury White Horse is easy to see from nearby given it’s 108’ long by 182’ high, and the surrounding Bratton Camp adds a bit of historical interest. It’s free and ideal as a short stop or walk, and open during daylight.

This is a really nice place to go if you are in the local area. It's an old Iron Age sites which is a great historical interest. It can get a little breezy up here. It's great for a walk around and if the sun is shining and it's not too windy then you can have long walks and also meet people who are still camping in the local area. Speaking of the wind your also see people paragliding here.

Free parking with wide open space for walking, playing or picnics. Temporary toilets and ice cream van. Paragliding at top. The white horse has lots of surrounding paths with amazing views. Lots of butterflies and flowers.
