All Creatures Great and Small tour: How to book a tour for two of more than 15 filming locations for Channel 5 show and the original home of James Herriot

There have been two TV adaptations of All Creatures Great and Small (ACG&S), one in 1978 which aired on BBC One that spanned 12 years and seven seasons, and another 2020 adaptation on Channel 5, now on its fourth season. The shows are based on a series of books written by famous North Yorkshire vet Alf Wight, who wrote under the pen name of James Herriot.

Virgin Experience Days is offering an exciting tour for two of the famous Yorkshire Dales filming locations of the popular show as well as an opportunity to explore the home Alf Wight grew up in and the veterinary practice he worked at. The tour will cover more than 15 locations, where you will visit the picturesque valleys of the Dales and join other fans on a mini-coach accompanied by a guide who will divulge interesting facts about the show and the life of James Herriot.

The tour will start in York City Centre and your first stop will be a visit to the original home of the first TV adaptation of ACG&S - the World of James Herriot. Here is everything you need to know about the tour.
