A very special holiday for up to three people, wanting to explore the Yorkshire Dales and experience the life of James Herriot.
We will share with you our love of the Dales and enthusiasm for the books of Alfred Wight (James Herriot's real name).
Part of the Yorkshire Dales are known as 'Herriot Country' due to the books of author James Herriot, later portrayed by the TV series 'All Creatures Great and Small'. His vivid descriptions bring to life the wonderful atmosphere of the Dales.
Quote from James Herriot; In my daily work I was always aware of the beauty around me and had never lost the sense of wonder which had filled me when I had had first sight of Yorkshire ... My eyes strayed again and again over the towering flanks of the fells, taking in the pattern of walled green fields won from the yellow moorland grass, and I gazed at the high tops with the thrill of excitement which always came down to me from that untrodden land.
