Croxden
Croxden is a village in the county of Staffordshire, England, south of Alton and north of Uttoxeter. The village is the site of Croxden Abbey, founded in 1176 by the Cistercians, but now ruined. It is privately owned and in the care of English Heritage.
Croxden Abbey
Croxden Abbey was a Cistercian abbey at Croxden, Staffordshire, England. In 1179, Bertram de Verdun, the lord of the manor of Croxden, endowed a site for a new abbey, and 12 monks arrived from the Savigniac Cistercian mother house of Aunay-sur-Odon in Normandy to build the new abbey over the next 50 years. It was known as the "Abbey of the Vale of St. Mary at Croxden". The monks made a living from breeding sheep. The Abbey was consecrated in 1253.
Corkscrew (Alton Towers)
Corkscrew was a steel roller coaster manufactured by Vekoma of the Netherlands. The coaster was located in the Ug Land area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. It was the park's oldest ride and is considered the greatest factor in promoting the new theme park to the British public. It was one of the first double-inverting coasters in Europe (the first in the UK) - so received much publicity and avid popularity in the 1980s.
Hex – the Legend of the Towers
Hex - The Legend of the Towers is an attraction designed by John Wardley at UK theme park Alton Towers. It opened in 2000 and features a walkthrough of part of the genuine ruins of the Towers themselves, an interpretation of an old local legend, and a finale featuring a Vekoma Madhouse ride.
Driving School (Alton Towers)
The Driving School is a ride at Alton Towers for young children. It is basically a mock driving institution, where young children learn how to drive small cars. Riders are allowed to drive around a miniature course, where they are overseen by marshalls. The track is mainly built and themed around the area (Cloud Cuckoo Land). It is decorated with wacky and colourful statues and scenery.
Hollington, Staffordshire
Hollington is a village in the English county of Staffordshire. The nearest town to Hollington is Uttoxeter to its south-east. The quarries at Hollington produce the notable red and white 'Hollington stone' (a form of sandstone) which has been used for centuries in the construction of churches and stately homes. It was used for the construction of the new Coventry Cathedral in the 1950s.
Thirteen (roller coaster)
Thirteen (officially stylised as TH13TEEN) is a steel roller coaster at Alton Towers in England. The ride was constructed by Intamin and opened on 20 March 2010. It is the world's first vertical freefall drop roller coaster - on which the track and train freefall approximately five metres in darkness. The ride replaced and is built on the former site of the Corkscrew, which resided at Alton Towers for 28 years between 1980 and 2008.
Twirling Toadstool (Alton Towers)
Twirling Toadstool is a ride at the British theme park Alton Towers. This ride is made up of many chairs hanging from the ride by long chains. When the ride begins, the chairs are lifted several metres off the ground, then they begin to rotate. Once the chairs have been lifted to a certain height, and are rotating fast enough, the chairs are banked as the ride tilts. This creates a strange up and down spinning motion, which may well be uncomfortable for people who don't like this kind of ride.
