Geocashing in Wayland's Smithy, The Manger, Uffington castle & White horse

Today Tats and I took a pilgrimage to Wiltshire in search of a lovely long walk and some history. I know I've been to Uffington before and seen all of the historical monuments there because I remember the castle, but I wanted to see them again! Tats had never been before so that provided an excellent excuse.

We parked up and walked to Wayland's Smithy first as it was what we were most excited to see! Neolithic burial barrow!
:D

After the Smithy we walked back along the ridgeway and Tats checked her geocashing map- We found 3 along the route we were taking so we stopped to find the fist one!
I've never done any geocashing before, it's really cool. Like a giant treasure hunt!

Next we headed up to the castle for some brilliant views of swindon and of course the beautiful Didcot power station.

Then we walked down the side of the horse to see the manger, which was formed during the last ice age- how cool does it look?

And another geocash.
:D

We walked up St Georges hill (legend has it that that it is where he slayed the dragon!) so we could have look at the horse (No luck, you can't see it all unless you're really far away) but we did hear some batty american bloke telling his wife that the white horse was "clearly" carved by Aliens.
We had to leave so that we didn't laugh in his face!
