Getting to Alton is fairly straightforward and once you’re here there aren’t many roads to get lost on.
Most people arrive in the area from the M1 or the M6. In either case, Alton Towers is signposted whilst you are still on the motorway. (Please note that if you are coming down the M1 you will be directed off the motorway at junction 26 or 27. Unless you want a scenic tour of Derbyshire, stay on the motorway until junction 24).
Once you are off the motorway, you will be directed along the A50 towards Uttoxeter. Keep following the signs for Uttoxeter. As you near Uttoxeter, you will reach a roundabout where Alton Towers is signposted to the left if coming from Stoke (M6) or the right if coming from Derby (M1). This road is the B5030. Continue to follow this road and turn off to the left shortly after the JCB factory, when the signs for Alton Towers tell you to do so. You will now be on the B5032. Follow this road, past Denstone Village, to the end and turn left over the hump back bridge (still following the Alton Towers signs). This is still the B5032. After about 1 1/2 miles, you will reach the Blacksmith’s Arms where you turn right into Alton Village.
Follow the road down past the roundhouse and the Londis shop on your left. After a further 50 yards you will come to a sharp left hand bend, turn right and you will be in the High Street. The white Hart is 70 yards further up the road. Drive past the pub and turn left into the car park.
