Of course, with James Herriot having lived in the Yorkshire Dales, it seems only fitting that the TV adaptations of his books were filmed there too. (Image: Playground Television (UK) Ltd.)The stories take place in the village of Darrowby - however, this is actually a fictional place. The original series was also filmed predominantly on location, although slightly different regions were used. For example, when it came to creating Darrowby, it as the village of Askrigg in Wensleydale which took on the role of the fictional town. You can find out more about some of the specific locations used in the first series on the World of James Herriot website.
