My wife and I walk along the old railway line from Oakamoor to Denstone the 'Churnet Way', (Alton station platform and buildings are an holiday lets now), in the winter time when Alton Towers are closed because of the traffic and the noise that comes from Alton Towers.
We also walk along canal and now heritage railway line in the Churnet valley which is the other side of the Oakamoor railway tunnel.

Nice area spoilt by Alton towers 

Last time I went to Alton Towers a long time ago was when it was a large country house and gardens and not a ride anywhere

Well Denstone is where my primary school is. (The old stone school right by the church and right next to the railway line. One of the teachers took us infants along the (dismantled) railway line for a nature walk, seeing how many wild flowers we could find. That would have been in the mid-late sixties.
