Living in Alton I walk my dog frequently around Dimmingsdale. Beautiful place. If you had walked a mile or so UP from the tea room you would see distance markers to Alton Abbey...which was what Alton Towers was previously known as even though it never was an Abbey. It was just a way of bigging up a then modest country house before it became the biggest private residence in Europe at the time.
Wow I didnt know that, I'll be back up there once the bluebells are out and I'll do an update. Thanks for the info and watching.
You're welcome mate.
What a beautiful bit of England... I'll be going there pretty soon, going to try persuading my family to go and check it out!
Cheers for the comment Dan, its even nicer at present with the Autumn colours.
My family are from Stoke on Trent About 29 mins away from Alton
It's not a bad area and very close to so many areas of outstanding beauty. Thanks for watching and commenting its really appreciated
@@garrygadget I live In South London tho In Surrey like out of London. I was born here my dad's side are from here. My mum's side from stoke on Trent. I go up there loads of times cos I got family up there obviously
@@joshuagreenslade3445 let me know if your up here walking sometime you can help me with a video??
@@garrygadget sure
How close is it to the towers? Is it possible to walk from the park to the tree?
Its 2.5 miles so about a 45 minute walk to the actual park - you can see the rides and hear them from the area of the tree in this video.Thanks for commenting.
Fascinating!
Tell the kid to show the tree more respect and not to climb it.
Danielle, the "kid" is my daughter and she was 7 at the time, also at what point did she climb it?? she stepped on a root if you watch my video. All of my children have been brought up with the greatest respect of nature but your not telling me you never climbed a tree in your life!!!!!!!!
Garry Gadget I had a climbing frame in my back garden so if I wanted to climb I climbed that.
Thats good, so did I and so has Lily, but as I stated she never climbed the tree in my video - she is too nervous to climb tree's and has never climbed one yet.Have you visited this chained Oak by any chance?
Im pretty sure its been climbed more times than you and me have had hot dinners - but not by me or my children.
At 17:48 you can see her step on a root - this was the extent of her "climbing"? hence my original answer to your comment ?
Garry Gadget She climed on the very old trunk of the very old tree. What if god forbid she slipped or lost her footing. No I haven’t visited the oak yet but I will.
