SPECTACULAR YORKSHIRE DALES: See why Herriot Country is so special!
We finally made it back to the Yorkshire Dales! It's a place that's very close to our hearts. Yes! We've been here several times - yeah - and we just love it. I don't know, the the landscape. the villages, it's just breathtakingly beautiful. Yes. And we're now at a village called West Burton - yeah - and we just discovered there are wonderful falls here. Yeah. The so-called Cauldron Falls. Jörg said 'Leaky Cauldron' from Harry Potter. Yes. And yeah, the village is absolutely absolutely gorgeous and we just have a wonder around. [Music] In front of me is the primary school and although this village is very small it does have a pub and a tea room and everything is centred around a green. And you can go for amazing walks. You know, whenever we are here in the Dales I feel like I don't know as
if I'm happiest here because I've loved the Yorkshire Dale since I was a child. [Music] So we are now in a very small Yorkshire village called Redmire and the reason why I actually picked it is because I've been a fan of the series 'All Creatures Great and Small', have been my entire life. I've loved the BBC series. I do love the reboot as well. So so for those of you who've only started following us maybe, we did film here in the Dales and showed some 'All Creatures Great and Small' filming locations and yeah, we haven't been here and Redmire was actually used for the Darrowby bus stop and they film at the farm and yeah. People are so friendly here. I really love
it. Now I wanted to show you this bus stop in Redmire because it's used in the reboot series 'All Creatures Great and Small' as the Darrowby bus stop. And right next to it is a very lovely cottage which is for sale. So Redmire is small but it has a luxury bed and breakfast called The Old Town Hall and we just met the owner. Yeah, we had a very nice chat with him on the village
green. Yes. So what's your first impression of the village? It's a very nice village. It is, isn't it? Very inviting. Yes. It's just I don't know. You feel that everywhere you feel as if time stood still. Yeah. And Dave the owner of the B&B so we met him here on the green - yeah,
as he was preparing these pits. He was opening them up - yeah - and we were like okay - what's this? What's that? And he told us he's preparing the grounds for a game - yeah - which they call 'Quoits'. Quoits yeah. Yeah. And it's a very old game they play in Yorkshire. Yes. Like and they throw rings or - so here, it's underneath is clay. Mud. Clay and mud yeah. Yes. And they have to throw rings here - yeah - and we never heard about it so we thought that was very interesting. Yeah. [Music] This is Hardraw Waterfalls and it's the tallest single drop waterfall here in Britain actually and it's behind The Green Dragon where we will have lunch in a minute. Jörg is still at the waterfall filming and I wanted to tell you about The Green Dragon Inn because we came here 3 years ago when everything was still in lock down and the pub was closed so this time we desperately wanted to come because the inside of the pub which is very charming and quirky, I think it's from the 13th century. And the interior was used
for the filming of 'All Creatures Great and Small' so I can't wait to go inside have a look around. It might be very busy so fingers crossed that I can film a little bit for you. [Music] Are you James, Siegfried or Tristan? Who who are you? No, I'm George. The farmer. Oh yes. Yeah. Well, first of all cheers. You know my name Jörg is, I've been told that it's ancient Greek and it says farmer so that's right. By the way,
what do you think of the pub? Isn't it beautiful? Very very quirky. Very original. Yes. Let me so let me try to go to the room next door because I think main filming took place there actually. So they actually have several rooms. This is an old fireplace and there's another one next door but um, there are people in there. Have a look. Isn't this beautiful? I love this so much. [Music] Wow, that was quick. The food came quite quick. Jörg has a cheeseburger and I have scampi with some chips and peas. Looks good. Here's another room. What do you think Jörg?
Isn't this pub a real treat? Yes. It's just unique. I think it's a must visit. Look at this. We are now at the Wensleydale Creamery which is only about a 5 minute drive from the Green Dragon Inn and it's famous for its Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese so let's have a look around. [Music] We are now at a place that we actually had on our list for tomorrow. Yes, it's Yockenthwaite Farm. Yes. We drove by it by chance so - yes we drove by it and it's used in the new series of 'All Creatures Great and Small' as Helen's Farm. Yes. I think in this series it's called Heston Grange. And I have to pinch myself because I've wanted to come here for so many years. Yes and the location
is just beautiful. It's it's stunning. It's absolutely breathtaking. So here's the post box. This is the bridge and the farm building. I'm in love. See and the sheep. Sheep are coming. Ah this is my dream. Oh thank you so much for doing this because this is my dream. Now this is actually a public footpath so you can cross the bridge and if you are on a hike you can walk along the path right next to the farm building and take it all in. It's time for a snack. Yes. And we we are in a small and picturesque village
called Buckdon. Yeah, Buckdon. Mhm. And we actually bought something at the Wensleydale Creamery - yeah - well, cheese. Yeah we bought some Wensleydale Cheese. Exactly. And crackers. Mhm. And something to drink. And I'm wondering. So behind us is The Buckdon Village Stores. Yeah. I
don't know. Do you think it's still open? Yes. You think? Yes. Okay. But it's closed now. Yeah of course. It's Saturday past 6 o'clock so. Yeah. See Telegraph office so - very old sign. Yeah. But it's just breathtaking here. And look, the weather it's so gorgeous. I can't believe it. This is what we have so that's the famous that's the Original Yorkshire Dales Wensleydale Cheese. I don't know. I think we never had it. What do you think? Don't know.
I'm not sure. And we bought some gluten free cranberry and raisin what does it say? Slim and ultra crispy toasts - yeah - and a drink. Sanpellegrino. Aranciata Rossa and Limonata. What's it like? It's a bit like toast and cheese and marmalade. Yes yes because of the cranberries yeah. It's a good snack. The cheese looks very buttery. It's funny but it's good. Really good. [Music] Good morning. Good morning. So it's now almost 8:30 Sunday morning which actually when we're
traveling it's quite late. Yes but breakfast starts at 8:30 here - yes - so we've got no choice. Yeah. But the house seems to be still very quiet so we figure that the other guests might have a lie in. Yeah that seems to be. Yeah. This is the view out of our bedroom window and I
don't know if you can see the sheep. It's such a wonderful landscape. I really love it. So you can see that it's cloudy but it's not cold so that's good. Now before we're heading to breakfast I want to show you our wonderful accommodation. Stow House is a boutique bed and breakfast in
the heart of the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales. It has eight rooms and we couldn't recommend it any more highly. We stayed in the so-called 'Kes' room which we absolutely loved. Here are some impressions of this gorgeous house and well. I hope you will like it as much as we do. [Music]
After enjoying a scrumptuous breakfast we hid the road to take in more of this breathtaking landscape and scenery that make the Yorkshire Dales so very special. We were driving through the market town of Hawes to reach a special place that we just needed to see once more. Yockenthwaite Farm. [Music] The next stop on our list is Arncliffe. Yes. Well, we must admit we were inspired by the new 'All Creatures Great and Small' series - yeah - and found out - they filmed a lot of things here. Yes. And well, we fell in love with what we saw and thought we had to visit. This is St. Oswald's Church here in Arncliffe and apparently the outside was used for Helen's and James's wedding. The inside was filmed somewhere else. I can't remember where it
was but yeah, the church looks beautiful. In the middle of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. [Music] This village is definitely a wonderful hidden gem so if you're looking for something that's non- touristy this is highly recommended. [Music] Well, we arrived in Grassington and it started to rain but you know what? It's fine. We somehow I
feel as if we have a little clock that says okay now you can I don't know now it can start raining because you will go home very soon so we don't mind. And we ended up in a café first. We are actually quite hungry - yeah - well, what have you got there? Um - it's a - cherry cake. Cherry cake yeah. And an Americano. And I have a scone and a cappuccino and you know what? The owners, they lived in Germany for 10 years. They speak very very good German so that was nice. So that's the little café that we visited and it was nice. Yeah, it was really nice. The owners were very lovely. [Music] There are, I was going to say some people. Of course not people. Some behind us are quite
hungry. Yeah. Have a look. Yes. I hope you can see it. what did you say this morning? I call them living lawnmowers. Yes but very lovely and adorable ones. Yeah. Well, it's time for us to leave and we don't want to. Yes but the Yorkshire Dales, we just love them. Yeah. Honestly, it makes me it makes me emotional because if work,
money wouldn't be an object I think we could easily move here. Yes it that would be an option. Yes. Who knows what's going to happen. Well, the only thing we can do is return. Yeah, we'll come back. Yes. And we hope you like the video. We had a wonderful time so thank you so much for
watching as always and we'll see you again very soon so until next time. Bye. Bye. Bye bye. Bye. Hey! How are you? You okay? Look! So funny. What are you thinking? Strange couple. Yeah. Stupid humans.
