Seven Natural Wonders
Seven Natural Wonders was a television series that aired on BBC Two from 3 May to 20 June 2005. The programme took a specific area of England each week and, from votes by the people living in that area, showed the 'seven natural wonders' of that area in a programme, although it is questionable how 'natural' some of the wonders were.
