His novels If only they could talk and It shouldn’t happen to a vet tell tales of the many characters and wonderful locations found around the fictional Darrowby in North Yorkshire.

The TV series All Creatures Great & Small helped bring the story to life further showing the places in the books that James Herriot and his boss Siegfried Farnon and his brother Tristan frequented. 

We have put together a fantastic Photo Memory Board showing images of so many screen set locations taken from the 1980's TV series. Next, we recommend that you visit the famous World of James Herriot museum in Thirsk.
