About this tour
Spend nine hours tracing the filming locations of the beloved All Creatures Great and Small series across the Yorkshire Dales. Your private minivan departs from your Lake District hotel, driven by an experienced guide who points out instantly recognisable settings from the 1930s veterinary drama. Wind through Darrowby village past the surgery, the grocer and the Drover's Arms, then venture deeper into rolling farmland where sheep graze and the landscape inspired the show's creators. The route includes stops at Helen's family farm and other key scenes, all explored at a leisurely pace.
Highlights
- Darrowby village streets used for exterior filming

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Lake District accommodation and travel by comfortable, air-conditioned minivan to Yorkshire. Your guide will identify locations as they appear, explaining how different scenes were shot and why this corner of the Dales suited the production. Expect to leave the van periodically to walk short stretches through villages and farmland, taking photographs and absorbing the landscape. The pacing allows proper time at each location rather than rushing between them. Lunch is at your own expense at a local establishment, giving you flexibility to choose what appeals.
Good to know
This is a private tour for your group only, with no set schedules binding you to strangers. Bring sturdy shoes for walking across farmland and uneven village streets. The route remains accessible for all fitness levels, though some sections involve gentle slopes. WiFi is available onboard if needed. Service animals are welcome.
