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”.

Yesterday the Government blocked the opposition’s plan to allow time for its water quality bill to be debated next month, and faced accusations of turning the UK into "an open sewer".
