Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2015, this print showcases the remarkable earthwork and intricate details of these historical landmarks. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the iconic hill figure known as the Fovant Badges. These stunning chalk carvings depict various military insignias created by soldiers during World War I.
