The White Horse of Uffingham is a [[neolithic]] site in south [[Oxfordshire]], [[England]]. It gives its name to the Vale of White Horse, the district in which it is located.

Carved into the hillside in an abstract style is the shape of a horse running free. Close by is [[Waylands Smithy]] and [[Dragon Hill]]. Local legend has it that a horse tethered overnight at Wayland's Smithy will be shod by the ghost of a blacksmith.  Dragon Hill is named as such for the belief that it is the site of [[St. George]]'s slaying of the [[dragon]]. Dragon Hill is site of Druidic worship to this day. The White Horse of Uffingham may be a visual folk art reminder of the legend of the Horserider in southern England.

The White Horse is 3,000 years old. <ref>http://www.londontourist.org/daytrip.html</ref>

The White Horse is relatively close to both [[Avebury]], the location of the world's largest stone circle and the even more famous [[Stonehenge]].
