BARNSLEY is to feature in a new TV series about walks in South Yorkshire expected to start filming in late summer.

It will be presented by Andrew White, 41, who fronts Walks Around Britain and is author of the current 90,000 word AA Guide to Yorkshire.

He said: "I'm looking to try and get a good spread across Barnsley and there's some walks in Penistone and going from the heritage centre in Elsecar and one that comes out of the town centre and goes back in."
