Cycling to Alton Towers! Local Facts During My Daily Exercise
Рет қаралды 71,827
4 жыл бұрынThe UK is still under lock down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however leaving your home for exercise is still permitted. As I live close to Alton Towers, the roads leading up to the resort are the perfect place for a relaxing ride through the Staffordshire countryside. By travelling this route, it's also very easy to remain more than 2 metres away from everyone, something that must be followed to maintain social distancing.
Along with showing you the journey from the my hometown of Uttoxeter, I also share various different facts about some of the other landmarks along the way. This includes JCB World Headquarters, the villages of Denstone & Alton, along with much more! The total amount of time I was out on my cycle ride was just over 60 minutes.
Check out my video where I cycle to The Chained Oak here: • Cycling to The Chained...

I live about four hours away, and I usually get to go every other year (was meant to go in June this year). We usually get a hotel for two nights and spend one day at Alton Towers and one at Drayton Manor. Wish I lived closer, my closest theme park is Paultons Park and that’s not thrilling enough for me and I’ve been there too many times!
