Cerne Abbas

Cerne Abbas is a village in Dorset, well-known for its 50 metre chalk hill figure, the Cerne Abbas Giant. Originally thought to be an Iron Age fertility symbol, research indicates that the figure is more likely to date from the 17th century.

The Giant is faintly visible on the right hand side of this shot, but you can see its full glory in the link below. Warning - before you click on the link to Wikipedia, the image of the Giant is possibly not safe for some homes and workplaces!
