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.
