Cycling to Alton Towers! Local Facts During My Daily Exercise
The 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.

i havnt been to alton towers for at least two years. Watching this video really brought back some great memories!
Used to love going with school and going through the village brought back alot of memories seeing all the landmarks and knowing that we were close to the park 😂😂 I can not wait to get back
Another great video Shawn, it was nice to learn about your local area and the history
I recognised all of the landmarks from when you entered Alton
Interesting video! Thanks for the uploads, keeping the spirits high during these tough times! :)
I have been to Alton towers many times. One time was on a school trip and once was when I won the junior chef competition at the rollercoaster restaurant. Even watching the parts where it is getting closer makes me feel excited for when I can go back

Great video as usual, what a great idea to go cycling by Alton tower and seeing all the awesome building/ structures along the way. Great video👍👍
Thank you for that very informative video even though its closed that's the most I've seen of Alton Towers since it closed thanks again keep it up
Amazing !! I live 4 hours away in a car, Alton Towers has always been my favourite theme park and we're so lucky to have it in the UK.
Living in London, I have so many fond memories of our yearly trips to Alton tower. The excitement after sitting in the car for 4 hours when you see the digger.
I love that since my family usually stay in uttoxeter when we go to alton towers so that was basically the same route we always take to get there
I pass a JCB when driving from Kings Island up north to Columbus thank you for sharing that about the company very fascinating!
Omg this makes me wanna go back sooo bad, hurry up and open again alton towers! As soon as we hit alton I always say the same thing "we're home!" Love it absolutely love it
Thoroughly enjoyed this insight Shawn. Thanks and keep it up.

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!

Such a beautiful route, I miss a lot of this when driving there, so it’s nice to see.
Honestly this was so peaceful to watch, especially with the weather being as nice as it is. Keep safe Shawn and lovely video.

We’ve been married for 16 years now and we still love the place! We always stay in the Premier Inn in Uttoxeter so we take that precise route when we visit the park. Thank you for your content.

I live in Derbyshire and last year I travelled around that area cleaning holiday cottages. I recognized Alton. Beautiful little village. Has a certain feel about it, if you get what I mean. Great video with lots of interesting facts. Thank you!
That was a nice change Shawn. What a lovely route. We always consider the JCB factory and the roundhouse as two important waymarkers. It was so sad to see the closed gates. Let’s hope it won’t be too long before we’re allowed back in.
I remember a school trip to Alton Castle, we did trekking and i could just see the most southern point of Galactica
It’s so interesting to see approaching Alton towers from the village of Alton itself, I come from East Yorkshire so I always travel from the north via Ashbourne
Great vid. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
