The White Horse of Cherhill

I am all over Wiltshire High up on the hills I am immune from fire To tourists I give thrills You can see me from afar By plane, on foot or in a car I am as old as time can be Many people have come to see You can walk up close to stroke me It can be a tiring experience But when you reach me you will see I am part of a greater sequence I am one of thirteen But five have sadly been lost Leaving 8 of us to be seen The other 5 are waiting to be uncrossed I am the second oldest in wiltshire Cut in seventeen eighty There are even some of us in Yorkshire So drive along the A4 a don't be lazy Park up in the lay-by at the foot of my hill Choose a path to the summit Breathing heavy yes you will The scenery at the top will be worth it You can see miles and miles From Calne, Avebury and Devizes Stand at the monument starting as rock piles Take a picnic and see all the other surprises
