We also saw it from the top of the Yorkshire Wheel a few years ago when the Wheel was outside the York Railway Museum. Like all white horses on hillsides you get a better view from a distance, but the village of Kilburn is worth a visit just to drool over the pretty cottages. xxKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228988475838309316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-44918211142768268462014-09-10T22:11:05.848+01:002014-09-10T22:11:05.848+01:00Sounds just lovely, and I love the little cottages...Sounds just lovely, and I love the little cottages with the bridge across the stream.
