NEW guides aimed at boosting tourism in the Pendle area were launched yesterday.

The new packs include Ordnance Survey mapping and information on the history of Pendle.

They were designed by the Council's promotions team and are available for £3 from Nelson Town Hall, Barnoldswick Tourist Information Centre, Pendle Heritage Centre and other local outlets, or Tom Partridge, countryside access officer, on (01282) 661930.
