The Haribo Shop in Pontefract
I haven't been yet because it would have a catastrophic effect on my waistline but it's got to be one of the most marvellous places in the world besides the Cadbury Factory

Humber Bridge?
Dartford Tunnel.
Admittedly the first 2 I thought of when I read the thread title was Stonehenge and Hadrians Wall. What about
Giants Causeway?
Warwick Castle?
