Alton Towers is one of the most famous and well-loved theme parks in England. Full of entertainment and thrilling rides, the park is a one-stop shop for an adventurous day out.
On the hunt for some excitement, thousands of families make trips to the park each year, especially during the summer and half term holidays. Many of us, we have at least one memory of a visit.
But what is life like for residents who live in the picturesque village of Alton, right on the doorstep of the theme park? Aside from the bustling traffic, most of the people who live residents in the quaint village have nothing but good things to say about it.
