Kiwi Chalk Figure is a geoglyph located on the chalk downland above Bulford Camp near Salisbury in Wiltshire. Cut into the hillside to expose the white chalk beneath, the figure depicts a kiwi bird and measures approximately 400 feet in length, making it one of the largest hill figures in Britain. The figure was created in 1919 by soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force stationed at Bulford Camp during the post-First World War period, serving as a tribute to their homeland and unit identity. The figure remains visible today as a notable example of early twentieth-century military and cultural expression on the Wiltshire landscape, though it has required periodic restoration to maintain definition against natural erosion.
