The region's biggest theme park has received further acknowledgement for its popularity with visitors after scooping a major award.
Alton Towers Resort has been crowned the top UK theme park by visitors in the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best awards.
The Staffordshire-based Resort Theme Park has also achieved global recognition, ranking 8th worldwide, surpassing destinations, such as Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Japan.

Alton Towers Resort’s CBeebies Land Hotel and Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges have been honoured with Traveller Choice Awards, placing them in the top 10 per cent of Hotels and Accommodations globally.
