アルトンでののおすすめツーリングルート

Some renovated lime kilns by the Caldon Canal

lovely family bike ride - beautiful colours in autumn, no traffic, quiet. But a bit muddy in places

Despite the fact that this route heads straight past Alton Towers it’s surprisingly quiet, though it could do with some resurfacing

Great for Gravel/MTB smooth gravel descent (West to East) or nice climb in opposite direction through woodland.

Be sure to check the information boards and look around Denstone village whilst here.

What can one say? An extremely popular theme park with stunning gardens. There are many spectacular walks around this region without venturing inside the park though 😉

As part of Dimmingsdale’s transformation in the 1800’s, the Earl of Shrewsbury commissioned the design of two gatehouses within the Alton Towers Estate – Dimmingsdale Lodge (now the Ramblers Retreat) and Pink Lodge (opposite the lower gates to Alton Towers). These gatehouses were strategically positioned on Earls Drive, the main thoroughfare through the estate. The gatekeepers would keep a watch for the Earls carriage from the tower to ensure that gates were opened promptly & thus avoid an interrupted journey.
