Grassington: The Real Darrowby of All Creatures Great & Small

[@emmyaward100]

Thank you very much for featuring my little shop in Grassington in your lovely video - Emmy Turner Illustration 🥰

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Oh, I'm so glad you watched the video! Next time I'm there I'll have to pop in and say hello!

[@AfzalJamilaFood]

Excellent wonderful video clips like good work good job beautiful view thanks again continue ❤❤❤❤

[@Amandafusion1]

you have seen so much of England than my self ha ha , I love waiting your videos and learning some of the history.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I have had the luxury of going there dozens of times on holiday and staying for quite a while. So yes, I have seen more of Britain than a lot of British people because of that privilege! Thanks so much for watching! Have you been to the Dales?

[@StephenandAndie]

Whoa, beet root falafel salad? YUM! All of that food looks amazing, and the lemon cake has me drooling!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

It was all so good! I'd love to eat there on the regular. We just need to travel between there and Vancouver for our foodie fixes, right?

[@StephenandAndie]

@@MagentaOtterTravels Sounds like a plan!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

The dales are so beautiful and somewhere we want to seee more of! We've never watched the TV show, but it does look a pretty place. It reminds us of Bakewell, that was full of tourists too! Any place framing with dogs is definitely for us. The food looks good. The salad looks so so good! Looks like all your visitors had really great visits. Cheers 🍻

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Yes, definitely has a similar vibe to Bakewell. Over tourism is a concern... But these places are so iconic, we just have to visit them! You MUST watch the TV show! It's too good not to 😉😊

[@StephenandAndie]

Whoa, what a cool “stumble-upon” during your drive!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I was so surprised! Such good luck. Of course, if I had done proper research beforehand, we would have gone there on purpose!!! haha

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Such a beautiful area!

[@ChrisShelley-v2g]

​@@MagentaOtterTravelsIn the late 1980's a friend and myself cycled to Grassington from Doncaster, I'd been there many times, but not for a long time, this time we camped (tent) in a farmers field £2 and cycled over the moors the following morning to Mallam. It's a few miles to Settle from there and next year I will be taking my assistance dog with me to Settle for a week in a cottage, I wanted to cycle but my dog isn't so keen, I swear that she doesn't trust me :/

[@tonycasey3183]

I haven't seen the current series - I was brought up with the Christopher Timothy, Carol Drinkwater/Lynda Bellingham, Peter Davison and Robert Hardy version. Hey, Dara, if you like historical books set in the Dales, try Gervais Phinn's tales about him being a schools inspector in the Little Village School series.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

That sounds like a wonderful series, will have to check it out! The original series is a classic. But like one loves all of their children equally... I think it's possible to love both series. They are each wonderful in their own ways ;-)

[@RachelHarte-s3p]

I loved his books!

[@billybudd5854]

I loved the original series as well. But love the new series just as much. You should give it a try!

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Nice accidental find of the farm at Yockenthwaite, which is indeed the location of Helen's dad's farm. You might also be interested to know that the interior shots of "The Drover's Arms" are actually filmed at "The Green Dragon" in Hardraw, near Hawes, and that set dressing isn't needed because it really is exactly how you see it in the show ! As a bonus, Hardraw Falls - the highest above ground waterfall in England - is in the pub's back yard. You should also visit Thirsk - a splendid town in it's own right, and which is home to The Herriot Museum, located in the actual building where the real veterinary practice was based.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Yes, we definitely need to visit Thirsk as well! Thanks for telling me about The Green Dragon in Hardraw. That would be fun to see also. Cheers for watching!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

I remember watching the old series of 'All Creatures Great and Small' starring Christopher Timothy - and loved it. I'm not sure the new series will top that ... but I should give it a try. Oh my, seeing the village 'Dressed for Filming' would be wonderful. Ooh, now you come to mention it, I haven't heard the term "Greengrocers" in the States 🤔There are fewer greengrocers in the UK than there used to be due to the proliferation of supermarkets. A true crime from 1766? Wow! It all happens in Grassington! Congrats on discovering Helen's Farm - what a fun discovery! Fab food too! A very enjoyable vlog - thank you! ❤

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@The_Brit_Girls you HAVE to watch the new series on Amazon/PBS... it is so so good!!

[@StephenandAndie]

I can’t say I’ve seen the show (Stephen here), but what a gorgeous village all on its own!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

The show is absolutely charming! A PBS show that is just a family-friendly, feel-good gem! And great for animal lovers ;-)

On another note, I love this song you’ve used. Almost as much as the term “crawling with dogs!”

I loved this vlog, and the Premiere' opening with the count down was epic! Do that for every vlog. You too girls are so very photogenic Dara. The north of England is so very serene, and far better (I think) than going into London. I commuted for many years and have not been back to Westminster since 31st July!!!! You produce such interesting, brilliantly put together vlogs, and I look forward to these every week. Why not do a live vlog from Dallas at some point and chat to some of your 13.1k subscribers? Have a nice weekend D & I

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Glad you have left the London commute behind! Any updates on choosing a place to retire to in Cornwall or somewhere? I thought of you Ian... next week my vlog of York Minster will probably be a LONG video! We did a tour with a friend who is also an official tour guide there, and it is full of interesting details. Plus we went up to the roof, which was amazing!

[@stephenphillip5656]

Oh my beautiful Yorkshire Dales, shown off to perfection on a lovely summer day. I live 9 miles away (Skipton) from Grassington and know the area well as I love to go out on my Royal Enfield motorcycle into the high Dales (Wensleydale, Swaledale and others) where it's a bit quieter. My cousin bought a new motorbike this summer and I took great delight in showing him around "my back yard". We got to Tan Hill, (highest pub in England) above Keld in upper Swaledale, the (magenta) heather was carpeting the fells and it was magnificent. He'd never been there in all his 78 years and to quote him he was "blown away" by it all. "Helen's Farm" at Yockenthwaite is a much-photographed scene, even before it featured in ACG&S - complete with the iconic red postbox. I could go on, extolling the beauties of the Dales, but perhaps you'll be able to discover other gems around those valleys and rivers for yourselves...

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Thank you for your well written comment. It was very picturesque, and I enjoyed reading it! Cheers! Dara

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

What a delightful visit(s) Dara. I have a confession to make. I 🩷 the original cast and series of All Creatures Great and Small 1978. I have that with a few tv programmes including Dr.Who. Just can't get into the vibe of the new cast. What I can enjoy and certainly did was this tour and your drive through the Dales. What a gorgeous wee town- and lots of cute dogs to boot. Fabulous editing once again - and love how you were suddenly presented with Helen's family farm. Another Magenta Otter Gem. Have a fabulous week. 🩷🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I have heard the same thing from many people from England. But I have to say, the recent series is so excellent! You really really need to give it a proper try!! Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a lovely comment.🩷

[@Spag_Bol]

It is still wild to see people walking around and filming in my neck of the woods 😅 I live just over the bridge from grassington, and work in the village. While sometimes the tourists are exasperating ive had more pleasant interactions than unpleasant ones. Glad you enjoyed your trip and you're visit to my friends families cafe! And who knows, maybe we saw eachother 😁

[@lokki245]

Nice video. I've never been to Grassington but have come across the name Scar Street in a couple of other places. I believe they usually refer to a outcrop of rock, or rocky bank or cliff in the vicinity. Although, it's not always a large landscape feature.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@lokki245 ah, thanks for that explanation!

[@Waspy50]

Another delightful video, well done. I devoured all my mother's books by James Herriot when I was a young teen, probably the first adult books I read, which turned me into a bit of a lifelong bibliophile. I'm surprised you didn't knock on the door of Helen's farm, explain who you are and show them your KZbin channel, worth a shot.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I am so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the books and what an important role they had in your life! They certainly are classics! I would not want to bother the people who live in that farm. The poor people probably get way more attention than they want! Lol

[@alisontaylor6135]

A scar is a geographical feature - basically where the limestone is exposed in this case. I think you may be familiar with Gordale Scar at Malham? Another superbly presented video. Thanks so so much. This area is 'on my door stop' and it's so interesting to see familiar places through your eyes. xx

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Once people mentioned scar being a geographic feature I remembered I had heard of that before. But it is not something we really say in the states, so it didn't come to mind. Thanks so much for watching my Yorkshire videos. I'm glad that you can relate to them and find them interesting. Tomorrow is York Minster! XX

[@GENerationXplorers]

Never seen All Creatures but used to love the intro music as a child. That’s quite the detour on the way up to the Lakes! Do they close the town off for filming? Love that stripey badger! Not heard greengrocers for a long, long time! Grassington really is a lovely place. There was a great tv show a while back which gave away a house in Grassington to people that had to audition to live there and be a worthy addition to the village. Tragic tales indeed! What a picturesque farm, good find. Well done on finding all the locations! Great presentation on all the food. Wow, cool cards! Think im due a revisit! 👍

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I'm so sorry that it has taken me forever to respond to your lovely comment! Now that my York Minster video is done, I'm trying to catch up on the week! I really want you to watch the latest adaptation of the show! It's BRILLIANT! Then go to Grassington 😉

I really enjoyed your vlog of Grassington. I camped near there back in 1986 with the Scouts . I have enjoyed all of your vlogs on the Yorkshire Dales . Some time you are up in the Dales you should visit White Scar Cave near Ingleton, it is Britain's largest show cave and I work there as a tour guide .You are very welcome to take photos on the tour of the cave, though unfortunately, my boss does not allow any videoing inside the cave .But it is well worth the experience and there is also a cafe and gift shop with an incredible view.

Love your Yorkshire videos. As a proud Yorkshireman who can trace his ancestry as far back as Constantine the Great declared Roman Emperor in York on July 25th 306 as well as many kings of England including William I, Several early Henry’s and Edward’s, the last being King John called Lack Land. I liked the Yorkshire sign with various sayings but your video ended before I could read them all. The most famous one is listed below. 'Ear all, see all, say nowt; Eat all, sup all, pay nowt; And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt - Allus do it fer thissen. Translation: 'Hear all, see all, say nothing; Eat all, drink all, pay nothing; And if ever you do anything for nothing - always do it for yourself.

Amazing how busy it is for a little town. What a delightful town and region, albeit a tad touristy. Coincidentally today I was in an Op Shop (thrift shop) and found an old book from 1980 - The Book Of British Villages. With over 700 unique British villages in it. I wonder if it had Grassington? I was tempted to buy it but in the end left for someone who may appreciate it more. I reckon the villages change so little the book may still be relevant. 😂

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@ShaneNixonFamily definitely still relevant! I wish you had looked for Grassington 😉

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

@@MagentaOtterTravels these things don't sell very quickly so I'll wander over this week and have a look to see if Grassington has an entry. You'd think it would make a list of 700 😂 Actually thinking about it, there may be 7 or 8 thousands towns in Britain, so it probably depends on how popular or quintessentially British it was 45 years ago. 😂 But I'll check.

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

@@MagentaOtterTravels I found the book and took photo. Google was able to scan and copy the text so I've pasted it below. Grassington didn't have its own entry, it was under Linton-in-Graven... LINTON-IN-CRAVEN NORTH YORKSHIRE 7 miles north of Skipton 'Loveliest Village in the North' was the title awarded to Linton in a national newspaper contest in 1949. The competition is no longer held, but Linton's standards have never slipped. It is a bewitching little place of stone cottages, ivy-clad walls, immaculate gardens, moss, lichen and tall trees whose upper branches are thick with the nests of vociferous rooks. The green, at the centre of the village, is overlooked by an early-18th century almshouse of surprising size. It was endowed in 1721 by Richard Fountaine. The village green slopes eastward to the grassy banks of Linton Beck. Road, foot and packhorse bridges span the stream. GRASSINGTON This is another handsome Dales village 2 miles away to the north-east - and one whose fortunes were founded on lead. Remains of the old workings, which were closed in the 19th century, can be seen on the surrounding moors. In Garrs Lane there is a pair of cottages built from part of an old theatre in which the tragedian Edmund Kean made frequent appearances during the early 1800s.

Have you been to the James Herriot museum in Thirsk? I really love that town, which is the real town where Alf White practiced. It is also the hometown of the Yorkshire Vet. I work as a night vet at the old Skeldale Veterinary Hospital, which is a newer building, now owned by Medivet (a bit bittersweet). We only see companion animals now. The North York Moors is home to the ''most beautiful view in Yorkshire'' per Alf. As a vet, walking in his footsteps and looking at the views he loved, gave me chills. My boss recently went to a 25 year anniversary celebration of the museum and met the actors from the current TV show, lucky her.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I'm so fascinated to learn that you work as a night vet! That's amazing! Very touching to hear how you relate to James Herriot's books. No I haven't been to Thirsk, but we definitely need to visit. We have so much we still need to see in Yorkshire!
