Alton Towers
England's most popular theme park, Alton Towers is truly a must for white-knuckle fiends. Entry prices are almost as steep as the rides, of which there are more than 100 - including the terrifying vertical drop of the Oblivion, upside-down roller coasters, log flumes and more. Rita, Queen of Speed catapults you from 0-100kph in a lunch-losing 2.5 seconds.

Gladstone Pottery Museum
Constructed around Stoke's last remaining bottle kiln, this evocative museum has an authentic, working Victorian pottery factory where skilled potters talk to visitors. Those of a scatological bent will enjoy the Flushed With Pride exhibition, outlining the life of the toilet from chamber pots and privy holes (complete with pong!) to modern conveniences.

Wedgwood Visitor Centre

Tours take in an extensive collection of historic pieces, artisans who paint designs onto china while you watch, a troupe of Star Wars-esque anthropomorphic robots churning out perfect plates and mugs, and displays about founder Josiah Wedgwood.
