Middleham Off The Beaten Path Tips by Sjalen

James Herriot

If you are a fan of TV vet Herriot (Alf Wright in real life) and have already seen the old practice in his home town Thirsk, then why not follow in his footsteps and visit the tiny village of West Tanfield. Most people pass it by on their way to the Yorkshire Dales but Herriot spend all his major holidays here which must count for something since he was born in Scotland! You are also close to Askrigg and Reeth where a lot of the TV series were recorded.
