Alton Towers: One of the best known of the UK’s theme parks is Alton Towers in Staffordshire. This is a great park to visit with the whole family, with thrilling rides for the adults and older kids, a water park to cool off on hot summer days, and rides for the wee ones too. The park has an on site hotel, but many people find that renting a holiday cottage just off the site is the best way to go – both for budget and relaxation. There are lots of big holiday cottages located close to the park so that you and your family can have fun during the day and then lay back and relax in privacy in the evening.
