Sewage falls named UK's most beautiful landmark
This award was well-deserved...

If you can brave the unchartered wilderness of North Yorkshire, somehow surviving the biting year-round cold and the savages snarling “Eyup, lad!” while you steer clear of the barbarian stronghold known as “Middlesbrough”, you will be treated to a spectacle that experts have described as “Britain’s most beautiful landmark”.
