Alton Towers is considered by many to be the United Kingdom’s finest theme park. Here there is something for everyone - from ’white knuckle’ rides such as ’Oblivion’ and ’Nemesis’. Those that are after something a little more sedate can enjoy the gardens, row on the lake or take a cable car ride. Disney fans should note that Alton Towers, unlike the Magic Kingdom, offers a real castle at the heart of its park.
