UK’s iconic Cerne Abbas Giant gets 'glow-up' after heavy rain | BBC News

The Cerne Abbas Giant, one of the UK’s most famous landmarks, is being rechalked after it's outline faded due to heavy rain and algae growth.

Located in Dorset, UK, National Trust staff and volunteers will carry 17 tonnes of fresh chalk up the slope to restore the 55-metre figure.

The giant’s latest “glow-up” comes just seven years after its last restoration, with conservationists warning changing weather patterns may mean it needs more frequent maintenance in future.
