10 British Landscapes That Should Not Exist — Why?
The largest artificial mound in Europe, with no buried king and no central chamber. A landscape of inland lakes that everyone assumed was natural until 1952. A road in Scotland where your car will roll uphill if you take the handbrake off. A chalk giant on a Dorset hillside, who turns out to be medieval. And an entire country, the size of modern Britain, drowned beneath the North Sea.
These are ten British landscapes that are lying to you. Some are man-made and look natural. Some are natural and look man-made. Some are still giving up their evidence — in fishermen's nets, in the chalk beneath ancient figures, and in the bathymetric maps of a country that has been underwater for 8,000 years.
