Yorkshire Dales National Park
United Kingdom
You will see: The famous church where Helen nearly married wealthy landowner Hugh Hulton. Skeldale House, the home of Siegfried, Tristan, James and Mrs Hall. The lonely spot where James gets off the bus in the very first episode. The village green where Darrowby Fair was held. The Drover's Arms, Tristan's favourite watering hole. Mrs Pumphrey's mansion, home to Tricki Woo. Alderson's Farm, home to Helen, her spirited young sister Jenny and Scruff the dog. The perilously narrow bridge where James always seems to encounter another vehicle. Stunning landscape of the Yorkshire Dales and its wonderful array of animals.
