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 movie 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.

- 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
