Alton Towers grand mansion house known as 'Alton Towers'. Includes a vast lanscape garden and building ruins being slowly restored with public access to many rooms and rooftops. The house grew from being 'Alveton Lodge' to 'Alton Abbey' to 'Alton Towers' over a period of two hundred years. After neglect in post-war England, slowly Alton Towers is being restored to a safe state and visitors to the theme park can walk through the building at leisure. Photos taken 1st August 2009 (on a very wet day).
