The Yorkshire Vet continues tonight and fans cannot help but marvel at its backdrop. Channel 5 viewers were thrilled earlier this month to see the return of Peter Wright, Julian Norton and the rest of The Yorkshire Vet family back on our screens for a new series. When it first started nine years ago, all eyes were on Peter as the prodigy of All Creatures Great and Small icon and vet Alf Wight, better known to many as James Herriot.
Now the show has expanded to follow a number of veterinary experts on hand to help their animal and farming community, whether it be beloved family pets or cattle and sheep. But one thing that hasn’t changed is its unbelievable landscape with many viewers still eager to know exactly where it is shot.
Where is The Yorkshire Vet filmed?
As the Channel 5 title makes clear, The Yorkshire Vet is primarily filmed across the Yorkshire Dales and the surrounding rural countryside.
Shooting primarily takes place around North and West Yorkshire with focus on the veterinary practices where the stars work.
The most famous of these practices is the Skeldale Veterinary Centre in the traditional market town of Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
This is where All Creatures Great and Small star Alf Wight, Peter Wright and Julian Norton all previously worked.
After leaving Skeldale in 2021, Peter went on to treat local farm animals and pets at Grace Lane Vets in Kirkbymoorside which is about half an hour drive from Thirsk.
Other filming locations include the Sandbeck Veterinary Centre in Wetherby in West Yorkshire, located on the banks of the River Wharfe.
Following Julian’s departure from Skeldale, he went on to co-own and founded the independent practice with a number of his colleagues.
Donaldson’s Vets in Huddersfield is also featured for additional regional practice which is where vet Matt Jackson-Smith works.
As well as these towns and their veterinary practices, The Yorkshire Vet also features stunning views of the surrounding countryside of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
The Yorkshire Vet continues every Thursday at 8pm on Channel 5.
