"All Creatures Great and Small" Tour from the Lake District

Overview

Step into the 1930s world of the hit Channel 5 / Masterpiece PBS show "All Creatures Great & Small". On this tour you will spend a remarkable day visiting film locations you will instantly recognise from the show as you pass through the astonishingly beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside. Follow in the footsteps of James, Siegfried, Tristan, Helen and Mrs Hall as you stroll through Darrowby village, past the Vet's Surgery and the Greengrocers to the Drover's Arms. Wave to Mrs Pumphrey and Tricki Woo as you pass by their mansion. You pass over the narrow bridge where James always encounters another vehicle, on your way to Helen's family farm set in the stunning Yorkshire Dales scenery, dotted with sheep and friendly cattle.. You will visit these and other locations in a comfy, air-conditioned minivan accompanied by an experienced driver and an expert guide. There will only be a maximum of 6 guests on your tour so there is plenty of laughter, conversations and photo stops.
