Step back in time and explore the iconic filming locations of All Creatures Great and Small, and more, on this delightful vintage coach tour through the stunning Yorkshire Dales! Hop aboard a beautifully restored 1940s coach (yes, the very one featured in All Creatures Great & Small) for a full day of scenic nostalgia. Your journey begins with pick-ups from convenient spots around Bingley, Keighley, and Skipton in North Yorkshire. Once everyone’s aboard, your first stop is Mrs. Pumphrey’s stately home, one of the show’s memorable backdrops. From there, you'll head to the grand Broughton Hall before cruising past another fan favourite—the charming village hall where Calendar Girls was filmed. It’s another gem in God’s own country! The tour then rolls into Darrowby—the fictional village beloved by All Creatures fans. Your host will guide you through its iconic spots, sharing stories and trivia along the way. There’ll be time to explore on your own too—perfect for popping into a cosy tea shop. As you venture further into the Dales, keep your eyes peeled for sites seen in the Harry Potter films, followed by a visit to the original Yorkshire village that starred in the early days of the ITV soap Emmerdale Farm. It’s every bit as picture-perfect and peaceful as you’d imagine. On the return to Skipton, you’ll pass even more landmarks and scenic highlights, all brought to life by your knowledgeable host onboard. It’s a wonderfully nostalgic day out that celebrates Yorkshire’s TV and film heritage—one not to miss!
