While the thought of living near the UK’s largest theme park wouldn’t appeal to a lot of people, for the residents of one village it brings a lot of perks - despite the fact they can hear people’s screams. More than 5.6 million people visit Alton Towers every year and thrill-seekers travel from all over to try out its impressive rides.
