All Creatures Great and Small: Yorkshire Dales Filming Locations

The first series puts a steam train on screen, filmed on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Keighley station stands in for a Glasgow station in the first episode, while Oakworth appears in both the first and second episodes. Oakworth was reopened in 1968 as a heritage station on the same line, on the line the show uses for its late-1930s steam scenes.

訪問のヒント: Oakworth is a working heritage station on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

Parts of the first episode, the ones with the waterfall and pool, were filmed at Janet's Foss near Malham. The small waterfall carries Gordale Beck over a limestone outcrop topped by tufa into a deep pool below. That pool was traditionally used for sheep dipping, which suits a series about a country vet.

訪問のヒント: Public waterfall near Malham.

This is the heart of the show. The village of Grassington in Upper Wharfedale was used for the fictional Darrowby, and the production changed the shop signs and hid aerials, satellite dishes and alarm boxes. The Devonshire Inn was rebranded as the Drovers Arms, the Stripey Badger book store became the greengrocers G F Endleby, and Walker's bakery became Darrowby Cycles. Thirsk, where the real vet practised, was not used. Filming returned to Grassington for later series.

訪問のヒント: Walk the village centre; the Devonshire Hotel is on Main Street.

The Drovers Arms outside is Grassington, but the pub interiors were shot at The Green Dragon Inn at Hardraw, a hamlet near Hawes within the Yorkshire Dales. So when the characters step in for a drink, this is the room you see. Access to the Hardraw Force waterfall is via the pub.

場所の精度: The pin marks the inn from a single map lookup and may sit slightly off Hardraw village.

訪問のヒント: A working pub; the walk to Hardraw Force starts through it.

The home of Mrs Pumphrey, the owner of Tricki-Woo, was filmed at Broughton Hall in Broughton, Craven. The Georgian country house sits in 3,000 acres of landscaped grounds and has been the seat of the Tempest Baronets for 900 years. In real life the character was based on Marjorie Warner, a client of Alf Wight, the vet who wrote the books.

The church in the Christmas special is St Wilfrid's at Burnsall, near Grassington. The oldest part of the building is the aisles, added in the second quarter of the 13th century, and inside is a circular Norman font. The special's farm is in Airton, and its crossroads are on the roads above Pateley Bridge.

訪問のヒント: Parish church in Burnsall village; respect services when visiting.
