The image features the Choragic Monument to Earl Charles, a neoclassical masterpiece that stands proudly near the entrance of the gardens. Commissioned in the 1820s by the nephew of Earl Charles, this monument is a tribute to the visionary Earl's dream of transforming Alton Towers into a stunning garden retreat. The monument's inscription, "He made the desert smile," encapsulates Earl Charles' achievement in bringing new life to the once barren land.
