Good Friday sees debut instalment of new James Herriot walking tour
A new James Herriot walking tour has launched in Thirsk.
The tour offers people the chance to explore the hometown of the world-famous veterinary surgeon and author, Alf Wight OBE, better known as James Herriot.
The inaugural walk took place on Good Friday at noon.
Future tours will take place every Friday, subject to availability, for £5 per person.
A combined ticket to visit the museum and take the walking tour will be £10.
Beginning at the World of James Herriot, the tour takes participants through key locations in Thirsk that inspired Herriot's beloved All Creatures Great and Small books, films, and television series.
A spokesperson added: "From the original veterinary surgery to significant town landmarks, this immersive experience will offer fresh insights into the life and legacy of James Herriot."
Thirsk became the fictional Darrowby in All Creatures Great and Small.
