This time we are heading off to anther campsite we have never visited, Lower Micklin Farm in Denstone Staffordshire which is just outside the village of Alton and a just a 5 minute drive to Alton Towers theme park so is perfect for our week of visiting Alton Towers.

This was our first time getting to ride Nemisis reborn since it had been re-tracked and Cody's first ever time riding it as he was still too short when it closed. We checked in on wickerman which unfortunately still had scaffolding up after a foreign object caught fire (Wickerman is now back open) and Carolyn mentions that people should secure loose articals while on a ride!! Funny that after what happend to Carolyn's phone (that was in her pocket) on the bumber cars at Great Yarmouth pleasure beach. Link is here    • Family Camping Holiday In Norfolk Day...  .

More about Alton Towers from Wikipedia

Alton Towers Resort is a theme park and resort complex in Staffordshire, England, near the village of Alton.[3] The park is operated by Merlin Entertainments Group and incorporates a theme park, water park, mini golf and hotel complex.

Originally a private estate of the Earls of Shrewsbury, Alton Towers' grounds were opened to the public in 1860 to raise funds.[4] In the 1970s, a few rides were added and some of the themed areas were developed. Inspired by Disneyland, it was transformed into a theme park in 1980 with the installation of its first roller coaster and several new rides. The park has many attractions such as Congo River Rapids, Runaway Mine Train, Nemesis Reborn, Oblivion, Galactica, The Smiler, Wicker Man, Rita and TH13TEEN. It operates a total of ten roller coasters and offers a range of accommodation and lodging options alongside the theme park. Facilities include Alton Towers Waterpark, Alton Towers Conference Centre and Extraordinary Golf.

The theme park is open seasonally from mid-March to early November, whilst many of its hotels and amenities are open year-round. Special events are hosted throughout the year, including Alton Towers Scarefest (the park's Halloween event), Oktoberfest, Fireworks, and Christmas.
