Perfect Day! - 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.

Excellent Tour of All Creatures Great and Small Film Sites - 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

All creatures but mainly sheep! - 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.

Would do another tour with the company. - The scenery of the Dales and the descriptions from the excellent tour guide of the geography of the area. Lunch location and food great. The church in which Helen and James got married was beautiful.

All Sites Great and Small Were Beautiful - Just beautiful scenery in the Yorkshire Dales. Visited all the important sites featured in the television series. Our driver had a laptop and played scenes from the TV series before we visited the sites where they were filmed. Our guide asked us if we could identify the sites before our arrival and this proved to be a very friendly competition.
Pub scenes were filmed in part at the Craven Arms where we had lunch.

The best way to experience the Yorkshire Dales. - In early May 2024, through English Lakes Tours my wife and I had a full day tour of the Yorkshire Dales with Gill our guide and Tim the guide/driver. The focus was, of course, the backdrops for the TV series “All creatures Great and Small.” It was an amazing day. Each stop Tim would bring up a video clip from the show to refresh our memory and give us context to the place we stopped. This format enhanced the experience when “walking the ground”. Both guides were highly knowledgeable on the history and geography of the Dales in general, and about all things ACGAS. We highly recommend this tour.

A MUST FOR ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL FANS! - What a gorgeous place Yorkshire is! We spent a fabulous day touring parts of the Yorkshire Dales which we recognised from the tv series. Tim and gill were wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and information on the van. Darrowby was amazing and the bookshop was a gem. Sadly we missed filming by a couple of days but there were still some props about. This is a must for anyone who enjoyed the tv show and want to see where it was filmed as well as stunning scenery. We loved it.

Yorkshire Dales countryside steals the show!! - We had a wonderful day on the tour with our very knowledgeable and informative guide, John. The weather couldn't have been better and while we didn't get time to explore Bolton Castle while there we did get to enjoy a wild bird (owls/falcon) experience all with the beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside as a backdrop. Would have loved more time in Grassington but did enjoy a pint at the Drovers' Pub (ummm Devonshire) and enjoy walking around the centre of town. Would highly recommend.
