Hiking

Whiteleaf Cross is a striking hill carving on Whiteleaf Hill in Buckinghamshire. The carving, which reveals the underlying chalk, depicts a Christian cross sat on top of a triangular base, like the top of a church's gable. The exact origin of the carving is unclear, with the earliest reference dating back to 1742.
