Alton Towers is Britain's biggest and best known Theme Park. If you are looking for a day packed full of excitement and fun, you will find it here.

Alton Towers occupies a huge site, originally the estate of the Earls of Shrewsbury. You can still see the ruins of the old mansion. Once very grand with many towers, battlements and turrets, now only the shell remains, of which a small part is used for the gift shop and cafeteria.
