NEWS earlyw ed Catch up on the latest from around the region SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE Carden Park’s newest leisure activity, Vertigo, is now open. Perfect for families and friends who want to experience something thrilling now that lockdown measures are relaxing, the new aerial trek course is also ideal for an adventurous hen or stag do. Vertigo at Carden offers two terrifying levels of white-knuckle adventure for all abilities. Both courses take guests on a two-hour experience, with the promise of 18 mid-air obstacles to conquer. The longer and more difficult course high up on level two ends at the top of a ten-metre tower where true bravery is tested as adventurers launch themselves onto a giant stunt pillow. There’s also the option to return to ground level via an exhilarating dual 210-metre zip line. For those looking for a more traditional course, rock climbing is also available in half-hour slots, and those bold enough to scale to the top are sure to forget their fears as they’re rewarded with never- before-seen views over the Carden Park Estate across the on-site vineyard, luxury spa garden and golf courses. Prices start at £40 per person for adults.
