Although this once quiet village has been made famous world-wide by Alton Towers, one of Britain's top tourist destinations situated on the opposite side of the Churnet valley, it still has other attractions for the visitor.

Alton Castle was built on the site of a Norman castle. It was begun in 1847 to a design by the architect Pugin (of Houses of Parliament fame). It is thought that the Earl of Shrewsbury wanted it constructed to house priests but Pugin was not enthusiastic about the idea of a castle to house priests and it was left incomplete.

The Catholic Church in Birmingham now owns it and uses it as a Catholic youth centre offering a variety of outdoor activities. The idea for Alton Towers came from the 15th Earl of Shrewsbury but Pugin was a great friend of the Earl's nephew, John Talbot, who succeeded him as 16th Earl.

Here you will find details of self-catering cottages, apartments, villas, mobile homes or cabins, lodges, etc. Also, self-catering accommodation in aparthotels, static caravans, and holiday parks in Alton or surrounding areas.
