- Dog Notes:
The downland around the Cherhill White Horse in Wiltshire offers excellent exercise for energetic dogs. However, livestock (often sheep, sometimes cattle) graze the area extensively to maintain the chalk grassland habitat, so dogs MUST be kept on leads or under very close and reliable control when animals are present. Be cautious near steep slopes and the chalk figure itself (which is fenced for protection). Please clean up after your dog. Remember to bring water for your dog, as there are no natural sources on the down for this Wiltshire walk.
