About Alton Towers
Alton Towers in Staffordshire, near the village of Alton, is a theme park set in the grounds of a historic estate that once belonged to the Earls of Shrewsbury. The gardens first opened to the public in the late 19th century, and from 1980 the estate was developed into a full theme park.
Today it is one of the best-known parks in the United Kingdom, with rides such as Nemesis Reborn, The Smiler, Wicker Man and the Congo River Rapids, set among the ruins of the old house and its gardens. Run by Merlin Entertainments, the resort also has a water park, hotels and golf, and the park is open seasonally.
