The Alton Towers Gardens

[BarryZola]

I know very little about the gardens, and, shamefully, as an Alton geek I have only wandered around them once or twice. Always good seeing areas I've never seen and learning more about the place, great video!

I wish Alton Towers would lean more into the heritage side and offer walking trails/signage/audio guides around the gardens.

Thanks James, I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you found it interesting. Let's hope that someone comes along eventually and realizes the potential of the historic estate and makes the most of it. If you (or anyone) get the urge to view any more stuff about the gardens and grounds there is a gardens and grounds section on the same AltonTowersMemories channel.

There is also another general history of the gardens video I did on a different channel here:

I do enjoy videos focusing on the gardens as I've only really explored a few parts myself, and with my limited visits I don't get much time to do so myself.

There's absolutely nothing stopping anyone from making an audio guide app for the Towers gardens, if they wanted to independently. With agentic development it's also incredibly easy to get off the ground. You just need someone knowledgeable enough about the heritage to be interested to write the content.

Interesting idea for the future, perhaps, but I've also been day drinking... So everything is good idea right now.

I know yeah. I quickly made up an alias name 20 years ago for the forum (the old one that we don't speak of) instead of using my real one and I've just never changed it
