Grassington
A flagstone-paved village in Upper Wharfedale, the filming location of All Creatures Great and Small and a good base for exploring the Dales.
Grassington is the central village of Upper Wharfedale. Around its cobbled square are stone houses, tearooms, pubs and small shops. Since the hit series All Creatures Great and Small began airing in 2020, the village has served as the exterior location for the fictional town of Darrowby. Linton Falls, just south of the village, and the historic villages of Burnsall and Kettlewell are within walking or cycling distance. A Victorian-style festive market is held on weekends in December. The national park visitor centre is in the village, which also has a car park. The 72 bus from Skipton takes about 30 minutes.
