BBC News - Lonely Planet says Yorkshire 'one of top global places'

Yorkshire has been named as one of the top places in the world to visit in 2014 in a new travel booklet.

Lonely Planet put the area third in the top 10 world regions, behind destinations in India and Australia.

The guide mentions Yorkshire's "rugged moorlands, heritage homes and cosy pubs" and that next year's Tour de France's grand depart will be in Leeds.

The 13th Century York Minster cathedral also makes it into the guide's top 10 global "sights to make you feel small".
Take that, Scotland.
