| The Osmington White Horse |
The Princess Royal will be inspecting the newly-restored
Osmington White Horse, near Weymouth, on Monday (12 March) before formally opening
the refurbished Durlston Castle in Swanage. Over the past three years, local volunteers and organisations
including Dorset County Council, West Dorset District Council, the
Osmington Society and English Heritage have worked to return the
hillside White Horse to the way it would have looked when first
established in 1808. This has involved painstakingly removing the Portland stone chippings
that have covered the figure in recent times, and uncovering the
original chalky bedrock – work supported by the Royal Engineers and
Dorset Army Cadets.
