Good fertile land, wheat ripening nicely. The white horse on the hillside is between Milk Hill to the left and Walkers Hill to the right. A useful landmark to travellers on the Kennet & Avon canal going east. The figure stands directly in line with the main road passing through Alton Barnes and Honey Street, the centre of the local crop circle industry http://www.ukcropcircles.co.uk/?page=circle-thumbnails&id=176 Not long ago I met a man at Honey Street who knew about crop circles so I asked him if they still thought they were made by beings from outer space. "Oh! Bless you yes," he said "sure to have been. Mind you, folk round here think outer space begins at Devizes."
