Yates pub struggling over time in scenic location (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

beauty spot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scenic location' is the definition.
'beauty spot' can be an answer for 'location' (I have seen 'Lovely location ' mean 'beauty spot' so perhaps 'location' could also mean 'beauty spot'). I'm not certain of the 'scenic' bit.

'yates pub struggling over time' is the wordplay.
'struggling' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'yates'+'pub'='yatespub'
'yatespub' anagrammed gives 'beautysp'.
'beautysp'+'o'+'t'='BEAUTY-SPOT'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beauty spot that I've seen before include "Lovely place; mole" , "Attractive place to visit - lady's face adornment" , "Scenic place" , "Lovely location" , "Attractive place for visitors - lady's face decoration" .)
