Step Into The Experience
 
Step into the stunning landscapes that inspired James Herriot and the beloved series All Creatures Great & Small. This full-day guided tour takes you deep into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where rolling hills, stone-built villages, and dramatic scenery bring the stories to life.
 
Visit Grassington, the charming village that doubles as Darrowby in the current TV adaptation, and explore filming locations that fans will instantly recognise. You’ll also stop at Bolton Castle, where Herriot famously proposed to his wife a favourite spot of the author himself.
 
With scenic drives, storytelling, and plenty of photo opportunities, this is a must-do for fans and nature lovers alike.
 
What to Expect
 
Your journey begins at Coach Stop A on Leeman Road, opposite the Memorial Gardens in York. After meeting your guide at 9:00am, you’ll head into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, passing through quaint villages and dramatic landscapes.
 
Enjoy a stop in Grassington, where you can stroll cobbled streets and soak up the atmosphere of Darrowby. Later, visit the historic Bolton Castle Gardens, included in your ticket, and learn more about Herriot’s life and legacy.
 
The tour ends back at the original meeting point, with memories of Yorkshire’s beauty and charm.
