A right grand tour of Turner country

Wednesday, 18 Jun, 2010 0

Agents with art-loving customers should direct them towards a trip to Yorkshire where the tourist board has just launched its Turner Trail.

Visitors walk the trail which criss crosses the whole of Yorkshire and includes 70 sites which inspired the famous artist of Moonlight and The Grand Canal, Venice.

Strategically placed benches allow walkers to sit and admire the very scenery that inspired the renowned English Romantic master of water colours.

Turner spent several years touring Yorkshire and creating some of his best works.
 
The trail was launched yesterday at Bolton Castle in Richmondshire, one of the artists’ favourite spots.
