James Herriot Walking Tour

The James Herriot Walking Tour allows visitors to explore the hometown of Alf Wight OBE (pen name James Herriot), the renowned veterinary surgeon and author.

Starting at the World of James Herriot museum, the tour guides participants through key Thirsk locations that inspired the beloved All Creatures Great and Small books, films, and TV series. Visitors will see the original veterinary surgery and significant town landmarks while gaining fresh insights into Herriot’s life and legacy.

Tours cost £5 per person, or visitors can purchase a combined museum and walking tour ticket for £10 when booked together—saving £3.50. This makes the walking tour a perfect addition to a World of James Herriot visit.

DON’T DELAY: Tours are strictly limited to 20 people!
