One landmark you can’t fail to miss in this part of Yorkshire is cut into the side of the hill, just beside the village of Kilburn. The famous White Horse measures over 300 feet long by nearly 300 feet high, and on a clear day, it’s claimed that the horse can be seen as far away as Leeds and Harrogate. It was the work of John Hodgson, a local schoolmaster, who with the help of his pupils completed it in the mid-18th century.

The White Horse is featured on our 55-minute video Picture Postcard Yorkshire, and can be purchased on line. Click here to find out more.
