The Cerne Abbas Giant or the 'Rude Man' is the largest hillfigure in Britain. He (the figure's gender is beyond doubt) is carved in solid lines from the chalk bedrock, measures in at 180 feet high, and carries a club, which measures 120 feet in length.
Folklore has it that local women who wanted to conceive would spend a night alone on the hillside - most productively within the confines of his giant phallus, and young couples would make love on the giant to ensure conception.
Sleeping on the giant was also thought to be a good way to ensure a future wedding for unmarried women.......form an orderly queue girls.
