Step into the charming world of All Creatures Great and Small on this full-day guided mini-coach tour through the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for fans of the beloved books by James Herriot and both the classic BBC series and the recent Channel 5 adaptation, this experience brings the stories to life across more than 15 filming locations.

Departing from central York, your first stop is the award-winning World of James Herriot, the original home and veterinary surgery of James Herriot. Entry is included, giving you the chance to explore interactive exhibits and original memorabilia.

Continuing into the Yorkshire Dales, you’ll visit several iconic locations from the original series, including sites associated with the fictional village of Darrowby—such as the bus stop, railway station, and the spot where James proposed to Helen. A short break at the Drovers Arms adds to the nostalgic experience.

The tour then heads to Hawes, where you’ll discover key filming locations including Darrowby Church, the cattle market, and Skeldale House, the veterinary practice at the heart of the story.

Lunch is taken in Hardraw, where you can enjoy a meal at the pub used as the interior of the Drovers Arms in the newer series. From here, the journey continues to the picturesque village that doubles as Darrowby in the recent adaptation. Here, your guide will lead a short walking tour, highlighting recognisable exteriors such as the Drovers Arms, G F Endleby Grocers, Handleys Booksellers, Darrowby Cycle Shop, and Skeldale House.

Throughout the day, you’ll be immersed in the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, with expert commentary from your driver-guide bringing both the filming locations and the rich cultural heritage of the region to life.

The tour concludes back in central York.
