MORE than 100 new jobs have been created at a new children's outdoor adventure centre near Swindon.

The former Liddington Hotel went into administration last year and the site was bought for £9m by school trip provider PGL.

The company have spent about £1.5m redesigning the building and installing features including a tree-top canopy.

The centre opened in April.

A spokesman said it was expecting up to 60,000 visitors over the next two years.

A further £3m of investment is planned over that time, he added.

Ian Officer, PGL operations director, said: “We expect around 20,000 visitors this year and double that next year.”
