Summary
YORKSHIRE is a county steeped in tradition. Right
across the county - from the rugged coastline and wind-swept moors,
to the world famous Dales and bustling cities - there are people
dedicated to the arts and crafts which have been associated with
Yorkshire for centuries.
This DVD celebration of those traditions highlights
the diverse range of crafts and customs which are thriving in Yorkshire
today - just as they have done for generations.
- Meet the talented young shepherd boy who is
following in his father’s footsteps
- The dry stone wallers who build and maintain
hundreds of miles of farming boundaries
- Dobson’s sweet makers whose mouth-watering
methods have barely changed for 150 years
- Tom Harland - the artist dedicated to the beautiful
Yorkshire landscape
- Swaledale cheesemakers who successfully rescued
an ancient recipe
- The lady who brews award-winning beer in her
own back yard
- Keith the ‘stick man’ who keeps
walkers on their toes with his hand-crafted creations
