Cherhill White Horse and Oldbury Hill Fort

The Cherhill White horse was cut out of the hillside in 1780. It has been restored several times due to chalk being washed away and weeds growing on it. The most recent restoration to the delicate chalk carving took place in 2006.

The Cherhill Gang

The Cherhill Gang were a notorious group of highway men who operated in the 18th century on the London to Bath main road (A4) which passes through the village. They were noted for their robbery technique of attacking the carriages of rich Londoners while completely naked, thus shocking passengers into handing over their money.

At one of the village’s bus shelters is a millennium project of a sundial. Consisting of a vertical sarsen stone inside a face of Roman numerals, it symbolises the passage of time.
