Alton Towers offers budget-friendly season pass for less than a day trip
Alton Towers offers budget-friendly season pass for less than a day trip Alton Towers has launched a new Resort Seasonal Pass, allowing thrill-seekers to enjoy unlimited access to the theme park for a three month period in the summer Alton Towers have some amazing deals on offer ahead of the summer holidays (Image: Bloomberg, Bloomberg via Getty Images ) Theme park enthusiasts can anticipate a summer of excitement at a reduced cost with the new Alton Towers Resort Seasonal Pass. The £59 three-month seasonal pass is a bargain compared to the walk-up price of £68 for a single-day pass, even if you only visit once. The pass offers unlimited access throughout the summer, making it an attractive choice for those planning summer holiday outings. For adrenaline junkies, this could be the opportunity to enjoy rides like the Smiler and Oblivion all summer long. It's important to note that there are certain dates when the seasonal pass is not valid, such as the August Bank Holiday weekend and several dates in October leading up to Halloween. All passes, including the £139 Annual Gold Pass, are unavailable on these dates. One of the most sought-after passes on offer is the Merlin Annual Pass, granting entry to their theme parks, including Thorpe Park and Alton Towers, as well as Legoland, the Dungeons, Madame Tussauds and even Cadbury World. The basic package costs £99 per year, with more premium packages offering monthly payment plans. For those interested in a single theme park break, Wowcher's Attraction Breaks might be a better option. They offer a Gulliver's Valley Resort Stay and Theme Park Entry package from £139, with availability during school holidays for families of four seeking a fun escape, reports the Mirror. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here Reviews on Trustpilot are showering praises on Alton Towers, with one guest describing it as 'magical', expressing: "A great family day out. Service from the staff is always so friendly. A magical place." One visitor was particularly thrilled about the minimal wait times for attractions, noting: "Magnificent time at Alton Towers. All the rides were below an hour queue. Went as a group of 5 and we completed smiler and oblivion in the first 20 minutes." They continued to share their experience: "We then went on another 11 rides whilst doing Smiler, Oblivion, Rita, Thirteen and Nemesis twice. Our longest wait time was 50 minutes." There were also some tips for future visitors: "Arriving early is key as they let people in before 10 to start queuing for The Smiler early. Had a wonderful time and was worth every penny. Amazing theme park. Workers were very nice and were always happy to help." However, not all feedback was glowing; one felt changes could improve the experience, pointing out: "As expected, when you go to a theme park there are very long queues. What you don't expect is no seating on a two-hour queue." The critique continued: "Waiting is not a problem, standing for two hours for one ride with no chance to sit down and rest your legs and back, really is!". When it comes to catering for different age groups, many parents have applauded the park: "Amazing couple of days with my family. So much for all ages to do, and the entertainment on the field was a welcome rest for my three-year-old when the older members of our party wanted to go on the thrill rides."

10 of the best plants that can thrive in poor-quality soil
Many homeowners find themselves limited by the soil that's already present on their land, which can prevent them from being able to grow the plants they yearn for. However, there are actually plenty of plants that grow nicely in poor quality soil, look, smell and feel great, and are perfect for a UK climate. To help you out, home and garden experts at Nth Degree have detailed a number of plants that would be perfect for poor-quality soil. Top 10 plants that can thrive in poor-quality soil Rudbeckia hirta (Black-eyed Susan) Rudbeckia hirta, commonly known as Black-eyed Susan, is a plant suitable for dry, low-fertility soils. Its nickname comes from its bold, bright orange and yellow petals and deep brown centres, which can give a pop of colour to your garden. Echinacea (Coneflower) Echinaceas, or coneflowers, are large, daisy-like flowers which are great at tolerating dry soil. The plant helps to encourage biodiversity in your garden and can have pink, white, red or orange petals. It is noted to make sure coneflowers get enough sun to help them thrive. Festuca glauca (Blue Fescue) Blue Fescue is an ornamental grass with "vibrant ice-blue leaves" which is able to tolerate drought and prefers lean soil. Sedum (Stonecrop) Stonecrop is another drought-resistant plant that is a "sun-loving succulent-leaved perennial". Nth Degree adds: "Poor soils are preferable, as rich soils will encourage soft, leafy stems liable to fall over." Artemisia Aretmisia has "fragrant, icy green foliage", which prefers drier and chalkier soil to be planted in. Heavy and poorly-drained soil is one to avoid for this plant, as it can cause it to die back. Lavender Lavender is a pleasant-smelling plant which can be a colourful addition to your garden if it gets enough sun. Lavender is a plant that's great for attracting bees (Image: Getty Images) Nth Degree adds: "Lavender HATES wet soil and doesn't like to be watered often, making it a good candidate for poor-quality soil." Perovskia atriplicifolia (Russian Sage) Russian Sage looks a little bit like lavender from afar with its spiking purple flowers, and also attracts bees like its counterpart. Additionally, it is strong enough to handle tough planting conditions and dry, chalky soil. Verbena rigida (Slender Vervain) Slender Vervain has won the Plants for Pollinators award from the RHS in the past, with it being a magnet for bees and butterflies. Slender Vervain prefers a dry and sunny spot to flower (Image: Getty Images) It prefers a dry and sunny spot to flower, and it is great for edging paths where you've got poor-quality soil. Helianthemum nummularium (Rock Rose) Found mainly in the south and east of Scotland, Rock Rose grows perennially in chalk and limestone-rich cliffs and banks. Recommended reading: It can make a great addition to rockeries and walled gardens where you might have lower-quality soil. Stachys byzantina (Lamb's Ear) Lamb's Ear has "velvety, silver-tinged foliage" which can add "an inimitable texture to any planting scheme". It's also perfect for gravelly soil or dry border planting as it's drought-tolerant.
