BH Live, the leisure and cultural trust responsible for operating a number of facilities across Bournemouth, is to open a new high ropes adventure course at Littledown Park on 16 June.

Altitude is sited within the 47-acre (19-hectare) park and will include a 5m (16ft) confidence course; a 10m (33ft) high ropes course; and a 50m (164ft) zip wire over Littledown Lake.

The attraction will also incorporate a climbing wall, while visitors will be able to take a "leap of faith" on the Power Fan Descender drop - an 11.5m (37.7ft) vertical drop.

Closer to the Edge has worked with BH Live on the attraction's planning, course layout, recruitment and staff training.

BH Live chief executive Peter Gunn said: "Altitude is a brand new and exciting Bournemouth attraction with huge appeal to residents, visitors, companies, schools and community groups.

"We are preparing to open to the public on Saturday 16 June and Altitude instructors are gearing up to provide our customers with another fantastic BH Live experience."
