A KEIGHLEY artist is exploring Yorkshire in a new series for BBC Four.

Shanaz Gulzar uses her artistic outlook – and a 360-degree, selfie-style camera – to film herself and the landscape around her, in Yorkshire Walks.

The four-part series sees her visit popular destinations such as Bolton Abbey and Whitby, plus some lesser-known spots. Each episode features a different walk, completed and filmed in a day.

Along the way, Shanaz chats to fellow walkers, uncovers ‘hidden histories’, recites poetry and sketches her surroundings.

She said: “It has been a privilege to walk in such stunning landscapes and meet a wide range of people.

“Walking helps me as an artist to think and gather inspiration, but also as a human being who likes to recharge the batteries and get away from the rush of modern life.”

Yorkshire Walks is produced by Cy Chadwick, from Atypical Media. And the executive producer is Tony Parker, for BBC England.

Mr Parker said: “The films are a real treat for viewers – gorgeous, gentle rambles through some of our finest landscapes. Shanaz brings a fresh perspective on the landscape, responding to what she discovers as an artist.”

Yorkshire Walks will be screened on BBC One in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire from Monday (Nov 25) and will be broadcast nationally on BBC Four next month.
