Yorkshire Dales, TV Soap Country with John & Tini

Yorkshire Dales, TV Soap Country 

After making our way up the Yorkshire Dales we arrived at our fantastic accommodation! We had dinner in the local pub “The Bruce Arms” where we were given a warm welcoming.

Driving trough the Moors and the Yorkshire Dales we stopped for a picnic by the riverside of Burnsall Town. We had fun playing a game of boules.

We visited the Wensleydale Creamery, where we watched the process of cheese making and tried 40 different cheeses. Yummy!

At the “Carding Shed” in Jackson Bridge, we had a look at beautiful vintage cars, motorbikes and bicycles. In Holmfirth and visited “Sid’s cafe” where we had photographs taken next to the pictures of the cast.  We toured in a vintage bus from the 1930’s that took us around town and the countryside and showed us where different scenes were filmed with which characters. It was very entertaining!

 No Emmerdale tour would be complete without a visit to "The Woolpack”. We had our picture taken behind the bar. We all loved it and enjoyed talking about Emmerdale episodes over a drink. 


In Ripon we visited the impressive cathedral. At the market square we saw the “Hornblower”,  blowing his horn, which he does every evening.

We travelled across the moors on an old steam train dating back from the 1960’s. 

Arriving in Goathland we disembarked and visited the “Heartbeat” country taking in Scripp’s garage, the “Aidensfield Arms” pub where we saw the original police car. 

We drove on to Whitby beach where we had a paddle in the sea and looked around the harbour before heading to the ruins of the Abbey with it's beautiful views over the coastline.

We also had a day at Thornton Hall Farm Country Park. We enjoyed petting and feeding the animals. On a safari ride we saw lamas, alpacas, red deer, reindeers, long horn cattle and many sheep. It was so much fun!
