Looking for a small stone bridge in North Yorkshire

There is a small stone bridge pictured in the All Creatures Great and Small series. It is a recurring scene. In trying to find that area, I read it may be between the villages of Reeth and Langthwaite.  I've tried searching pictures on this site, to no avail. 

Visit Howarth in North yorkshire they also have a steam railway as used in the 'Railway Children' movie (Read up on the Bronte sisters before you go Nancy, its a must see. (See Howarth on this site, click on 'towns' on the left of this page)

York is a definate stay (an hours drive away) fantastic 'Minster' and museums (if you are with a man he'll love the Railway museum in York.

I do believe I have found the small bridge, tho I still have not found a picture of it. Following are two descriptions I found, one on a daleswalking page, another on a page for the series All Creatures Great and Small.

"Driving out of Reeth and through Langthwaite, you can see the narrow bridge which featured in what is perhaps the most iconic scene in the tv series - the opening sequence of the series when James Herriot and Siegfried drive over the small bridge in their famous Austin car."

"continue to Langthwaite less than a mile further on, to check if the Red Lion Inn is open and have a look at the stone bridge over the beck, used in the opening scenes of All Creatures Great and Small."

  I will use this to start our drive-around of the area, to discover the countryside.

Nancy,

I have a DVD, "James Herriott's Yorkshire" which is hosted by Christopher Timothy and takes you through the Dales and many areas shown in the TV series.  That bridge may have been covered on the DVD, I haven't watched it for many months, so I don't exactly remember.  It's available from Amazon.com.uk, and too expensive.  It's worth the money, it's wonderful.  There's even an interview with the real "James Herriott", which, for me, was very emotional.

Hope this helps a little.

The dvd sounds very interesting. I will see if I can get a copy of it. I just checked amazon and they have some very reasonably priced paperbacks. ebay only has paperbacks.

youtube has some interesting video on Yorkshire and Herriot

Norajean,

  Any chance you could copy the dvd on your computer? I'd be glad to pay for postage and the dvd. I live in ne Tennessee.
