Nuneaton’s Mount Judd has been crowned the UK’s best landmark in a landslide public vote victory reminiscent of the Boaty McBoatface win.

The town’s towering icon, also sometimes referred to as the Nuneaton Nipple, beat off stiff competition from the likes of the Angel of the North and Big Ben to win the public vote.

It was run by the Mirror online to find Britain’s best monument.

The Nuneaton Nipple topped the poll beating out close contenders the Giant's Causeway, Stonehenge coming third and neighbouring Coventry Cathedral.

Climbing the man-made mound was, for a generation in the town, a rite of passage.

But it's now classed as trespassing if people attempt to get to the top.

Only last year pranksters put half a Mini car at the summit of Mount Judd , prompting warning pleas for people to stay away as it is on private land, as well as health and safety concerns about trespassing.

According to an online guide to England's mountains and hills online, Mount Judd is the 16403rd highest peak in the British Isles and the 3306th tallest in England.
