Neighbours at war over the great Solsbury Hill cover-up: Residents' fury after their view is blocked by 50ft 'barricade' of leylandii trees which homeowner planted 'as revenge for being refused planning permission'
It's one of Britain's best-known landmarks - and famously featured in a classic pop song by Peter Gabriel. But now Solsbury Hill - on the edge of Bath in Somerset - has found itself at the centre of a fierce row between warring neighbours. Several families who enjoyed sweeping views of the landmark, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, are furious that the grand vista has been blotted out by a 50ft wall of unsightly leylandii trees. The residents, in the village of Bathampton, have accused their neighbour Valerie Vivian of deliberately growing the 'barricade' as revenge for being refused permission to build on her land.

Palmyra falls to ISIS once more: Islamists reclaim ancient city after gathering 4,000 militants to lay siege and overthrow Assad's men
ISIS terrorists supported by tanks and other heavy weapons have managed to drive out Syrian government forces from the historic city of Palmyra, which was recaptured from the terror group in May. Homs governor Talal Barazi was quoted as saying the Syrian army had withdrew from the city allowing it to fall to the terror group. ISIS released footage of heavy armour, infantry and trucks mounted with heavy machine guns pounding the UNESCO world heritage site. Russian aircraft attempted to halt the advance, but Syrian officials admitted the counter-offensive has so far failed. Assad has been concentrating on trying to recapture Aleppo with 120,000 civilians fleeing the eastern part of the city since November.
