White Mark Myth Debunked?

Hedley Thorne sets out to test a long-established local story about the mysterious Watlington Hill White Mark. Is there any truth in this tale - or is Hedley going to debunk it? Watch this, to find out.

Like all chalk hill carvings, the tales have grown over the years and the actual origin of the White Mark on Watlington Hill in the Chilterns, has become clouded. Watlington is an historic market town at the foot of the Chiltern escarpment - close to the historic ridgeway - often referred to (probably wrongly) as Britain's oldest road.

Other chalk hill carvings in the Chilterns include Whiteleaf Cross above Princes Risborough, and the now lost, Bledlow Cross. So, how does the White Mark of Watlington Hill fit into this scene and just what is Hedley going to discover with his massive drone, Alfred?
