What better way to visit UK Theme Parks than In A Motorhome
Theme Parks
Theme parks in the UK have got bigger and better over the years, myself and the kids love a holiday where we can have fun everyday and with a Wests Motorhome (www.motorhomehireuk.net).
Year after year we have return back to our favourite theme park, #altontowers .
Alton Towers in set the beautiful Staffordshire countryside and is due to re-open soon on the 22 March 2014. As Alton Towers is so large we find it best to split our action packed adventure over a couple of days, we then move on in our rental motorhome to a family friendly campsite near the sea to enjoying the beaches, swimming and evening entertainment before heading home to #essex. For more information on Alton Towers and prices www.altontowers.com
The UK is home to over 20 fantastic theme parks, so there is no need to go abroad went there is so much to explore in the UK for everyon including families.
#theindependent newspaper released the top 10 best theme parks in the UK.
Below is what The Independent newspaper had to say.

‘The Swarm’ is Thorpe Park's newest ride, a rollercoaster where riders are dragged into a blind 127ft drop. #thorpepark
