NINE overseas tourism journalists will visit Pendle this Sunday as part of a Great Northern Countryside tour.

The journalists will come from as far afield as Canada, South Africa and Australia and write for newspapers, magazines and travel trade journals.

They will be taken on a tour of Wycoller Country Park and will explore part of the Pendle Witches Trail.

Tourism Officer Alexandra Holt said: "This is a great opportunity for Pendle to attract overseas visitors and draw people to the area from the Commonwealth Games in neighbouring Manchester."
