While some of Britain's hill figures (especially the White Horses and Fovant military emblems of Wiltshire) are modern, the more bizarre figures such as the Long Man of Wilmington and the Cerne Abbas Giant are exceedingly old, and defy all attempts to interpret their origins and purpose.

Hill figures are generally easily visible from the surrounding area - however the very best way to see hill figures is from the air

Delta Aviation offer Tiger Moth flights from 17+ locations throughout the UK in beautifully restored Tiger Moth aircraft as well as offering a number of flying experiences in other aircraft. A unique and exhilarating, once in a lifetime adventure!
