The coronavirus lockdown has been extraordinarily difficult in many ways and my heart goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one.

But I must admit that one of the small benefits from the lockdown on a personal level has been the chance to explore beautiful countryside on my doorstep I had never previously visited during my daily exercise.

Editor’s note: first and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.

Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.
