We begin at the Trentham site just of J15 M6 travelling through the Derbyshire Dales to the famous Alton Towers Theme Park, even if being scared to death on Oblivion or Nemesis is not your cup of tea, this a lovely area to relax and have fun. | ||

A whole day at Alton Towers Theme Park. 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. If you feel in need of something soothing after so much excitement you can row on the lake, take an aerial cable car ride, or simply enjoy walking in the gardens, which still have many of the plants, ornamental features and fountains from the original design. |

For a truly wild experience, visit the lions, tigers and rhinos at Longleat Safari Park. Bath presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, such as the Roman Baths and Pump Room, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and the Circus. The surrounding seven hills, the river Avon running through the heart of the city, and the towers of Bath Abbey combine to create a wonderful first impression. Moreover, Bath takes a real pride in sharing its secrets and unique heritage, which can be explored in a variety of 40 museums, galleries, gardens and attractions. Water has always been of huge significance to Bath's heritage. The Roman Baths and the temple were built around the thermal springs, which have been constantly supplying water at 46C for 2,000 years and which can still be tasted in the Pump room. The river Avon weaves its way through North East Somerset and there are marinas at Keynsham, Saltford and Bath. |
