Sam’s local picks

If you’ve got some extra time around Alton Towers, I have a few local favourites! Dimmingsdale is absolutely gorgeous for a peaceful walk – only a 5 minute drive away – and JCB World is brilliant fun if you love diggers. For a bit of excitement, Uttoxeter Racecourse isn't too far either, about a 17-minute trip, and always has a great atmosphere.
