A guide has been launched to introduce people to the tourist delights of Yorkshire.

Aimed specifically at groups, Hidden Yorkshire is part of a series of themed campaigns funded by regional development agency, Yorkshire Forward.

The idea is to attract groups back to the region in the wake of the devastation caused to tourism by the foot-and-mouth outbreak.

Fifteen different days of itineraries are laid out in the new guide, each with illustrated maps and contact details.

* Free copies of the guide can be ordered from the Yorkshire Tourist Board on (01904) 707070 or by visiting www.hiddenyorkshire.com
