Cherhill's White Horse

Cherhill is just a few miles from our Melksham, Wiltshire training centre - see also Calne, Devizes, Nearmelksham, Morganshill and Avebury pages. It nestles below the Marlborough downs - plenty of lovely walks on a summer's evening and pubs in Cherhill village itself and at Avebury.

You're in White Horse country (and see also Westbury for another local horse)
