Well you could also drop the back end a bit to keep it lined up with the Pennines ;)
One big gain of tilting it is to get the front leg more pointing along the SW-NE chalk ridge route equating with the Ridgeway, which would presumably be very significant to them.

yes, but it's a thin front leg and fits along a waterway. for me, the match between the eye and winchester, or nearby, oriented the whole figure, and made sense of the "beak" at the salisbury river fork. when we tilt it in your way, the cambrian leg doesn't end in pembrokeshire, yet the mersey/ribble feature is the strongest non-horse detail.
the tail, too, if it plots a route through scotland, should pass through inverness.
i am happy to know it is being seen by other people.
