	Vale of White Horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vale of White Horse is a local government district of Oxfordshire in England.
		The vale is flat and well wooded, its green meadows and foliage contrasting richly with the bald summits of the White Horse Hills, which flank it on the south.
		A smooth, steep gully on the north flank of White Horse Hill is called the Manger, and to the west of it rises a bald mound named Dragons Hill, the traditional scene of St George's victory over the dragon, the blood of which made the ground bare of grass for ever.
