Alton Towers
Established 1980
Tucked away in the misty hills of the Staffordshire countryside, Alton Towers offers a uniquely atmospheric experience centered around a genuine 19th-century gothic mansion and sprawling formal gardens. Because of strict height restrictions, the parkβs world-class roller coasters are famously integrated into the landscape, diving into deep subterranean trenches and weaving through dense woodland. Visitors traverse sprawling, distinct lands where the juxtaposition of decaying architectural majesty and cutting-edge thrill rides creates a sense of mystery and adventure unlike any other destination. The experience is defined by long walks through scenic valleys and the sudden, breathtaking sight of a coaster train hurtling past ancient stone walls.
