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

Never realised that the filmimg locations were so close to the Lake Districts and it was fantastic to see such places as Mrs Pumfreys house and the hidden part of Darrowby. Would recommend this tour just for the scenery but the locations make it something special. Thanks.

Great tour, although they canceled our tour date without telling us. I only discovered they had canceled our tour when I called in. We had to reschedule for a day later, which caused a large amount of expense and hassle with our accommodations and London train ticket. The tour was great once we were able to go on it.

The trip is very good and shows many locations of the films. The driver and guide was very informative and seemed to be into this.

Even if you are not a Great Creatures Fan, I know you will enjoy this tour! Tim was an amazing guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his expertise and humor! The Dales are an amazing place to visit!

The tour itself was good. The driver/guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. However, we had seven large people in the van and it was extremely uncomfortable. I understand the need to minimize costs but we felt cramped the entire time. It was a seven passenger van, but there should have been no more than five passengers to give us room to breathe.

Excellent day most enjoyable going to so many great places tour guide Barry Excellent had so much knowledge of places of interest

What a tremendous day! We love ACGAS and dreamed of seeing the places it’s been filmed. We saw Pumphrey Manor; the crossroads where James first arrived and meets Helen; the church where Helen calls it off with Hugh; the bridge where James and Hugh struggle to decide who will back up and let the other through; the main town used for Darrowby (including the front Skeldale house, the Drovers Arms, the green grocers); the village green where James meets the bus when his parents arrive for the wedding;the Falcon Inn, where his parents stay; the back of Skeldale house; the exterior and interior of the churches used for James and Helen’s wedding; and the Alderson’s farm; and had a delightful lunch at the pub used for one of the interiors of the Drovers Arms. It was truly a delightful way to see the Yorkshire Dales come alive through and outside of the lens of the show! Our guide, Tim, was excellent! He has really taken the time to study up on the show and the real-life James Herriot (Alf White), enjoys the show as much as his guests, and was just a delight to spend the day with asking about the Dales then and now. The pace was leisurely and he let us take as many pictures was we wanted and explore as long as we wanted (obviously keeping us to the schedule). At each stop, he also shows us scene where the location was used, indicating directions and things to notice about the scene and the reality. He also spent time tell on us about the history or other unique characteristics of the places we visited. It was just the best day! We loved it and would recommend the tour to anyone who is a fan of the show or just wants to see the Dales in a unique way.

Tour was very interesting and covered many beautiful areas in the Yorkshire Dales. Guide was very knowledgeable about the sites and even showed excerpts from the television show on his laptop of the film sites

Our daytrip into the Yorkshire Dales was beyond all expectations. Our driver/guide John S was not only knowledgeable, but also a save driver. We heard and saw a lot about the tv series. Not only that, also about other films. He couldn’t have done me a greater pleasure by taking us to Bolton- and Middleham castle where we could soak up some of the UK’s interesting history. I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful little village. Lovely little shops with handmade products. Pub held the best memories of the cast and show.
