The White Horse of Kilburn walk is 1.5 miles long and it is considered the largest hill figure in Britain. It is 97 metres long and 220ft high.<br /><br />The concept was created by a man who lived in Sutton Bank called Thomas Taylor, along with the village school master, John Hodgson, and his pupils back in the 1850s.<br /><br />They were forced to cover up the carving during the Second World War to prevent it from becoming a target.<br /><br />Since it was uncovered and re-whitened by a local craftsman in the 1940s, it has become a very popular tourist attraction for tourists and Yorkshire locals alike.
