SO where on the moors are we?

Stars from BBC's Last of the Summer Wine helped launch the National Trust's guide to its Marsden Moor estate.

Long-time National Trust member Frank Thornton took a break from filming to say: "I did not appreciate how much of this area was cared for by the National Trust. It really is a fascinating area and this leaflet certainly captures it."

Thirty thousand of the leaflets have been re-printed. They include six self-guided walks around the moorland estate.

National Trust property manager David Finnis said: "The leaflet includes walks in Pule Hill, Buckstones, Close Moss, Standedge and the Wessenden Valley. It gives full instructions on each section of the walk, together with information on history, ecology, and buildings."
