Yorkshire Dales, TV Soap Country
At the Wensleydale Creamery we took a tour and lesson in making cheese,
which proved both entertaining and informative. Thanks to Wallace and Gromit for keeping the
creamery a thriving business!
The National Railway Museum was our next stop, where we visited the
royal carriages and steam trains and viewed the Japanese bullet train. We took
a bus tour around the excellent city of York taking in the Roman and Viking
history. Then a visit to the famous Betty’s Tea Room was a necessity!
In Goathland we saw the fantastic Scripps Funeral Service and Garage. We also saw the old police cars that were used in the TV series!
At the village of Holmfirth we enjoyed visiting Nora
Batty house before stopping for lunch at Sid’s Cafe. Then we went on a very entertaining drive in the old Holmfirth bus allowed us
to view and chat about the different locations where the series was filmed. The famous Woolpack from Emmerdale was our next stop.
We headed off to the coast and Whitby, where we drove to the abbey and saw the harbour area and the whalebone arch that commemorates Whitby's historic link with the whaling industry.
