The original
dragon was constructed using 100 tons of chalk, unfortunately
it was subject to the weather causing the material to gradually
fade over the years.
So only after a few years, it had to be re-chalked.
This was very costly in terms of replacing the chalk and the
labour.
To solve this problem, during 2019 the chalk was replaced with
a concrete base, painted white.
Please
note: The Dragon is on private land, by all means view from
the footpaths but do not enter the site
The area is often used for sheep using the pasture
