This is what makes our Dales community so special…

A little bit of All Creatures Great and Small but in real life.

On Sunday, a very special Pet Service and blessing of the animals was held, bringing together creatures great and small for a beautiful thanksgiving for creation.

Dogs, sheep, a donkey and even a tortoise gathered to receive a blessing, each one a reminder of the wonderful animals that share our world.

For a moment, surrounded by the Dales countryside and so many different animals, it felt wonderfully reminiscent of All Creatures Great and Small. Not a scene from the programme, but certainly one that could have been written for it.

A gentle celebration of kindness, companionship and the joy animals bring into our lives.

Perhaps that is part of the magic of the Yorkshire Dales. Sometimes real life creates the most heartwarming scenes of all.

Come and experience a little of our community for yourself. We’d love to welcome you to the Dales and to a beautiful family and friends holiday cottage.

Do you want to cycle like the pros?

Yesterday, the pros raced through the Yorkshire Dales.

Today, you could ride the same roads at your own pace.
The Tour of Britain made its way through the stunning Dales yesterday, passing through the Pateley Bridge and Grassington area as part of a much longer stage covering many miles of Yorkshire countryside.

It was a fantastic reminder of what makes this such a brilliant destination for road cyclists. Quiet lanes, challenging climbs, beautiful valleys and those views that make you want to stop and take it all in.

At Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage, we welcome keen cyclists and have a secure cycle store for you to keep your bikes safely tucked away during your stay. We have suggested routes and great cafes to stop for a refuel.

Whether you're looking for a challenging day in the saddle or a more leisurely ride through the Dales, there are some fantastic routes to discover from Moorside and throughout the surrounding countryside.

The professionals may have raced through yesterday, but there's no need to race when you're here.

Every August Bank Holiday since I can remember I've been attending Hebden Sports. I am not going to tell you my age! 🤣 The event started life as Hebden Feast in the early 19th century.

These days a lovely bunch of volunteers put up the tents, arrange the speakers and microphones, become stewards for the Fell race, look after all the games. My particular favourite game is Knockdown Ginger! I always remember this game being played with my mum. She gave me lots of motivation.

The children and adults take part in the races such as a potato relay, junior flat races, Egg and spoon race, back to back race, senior races and many more.

I started out as a junior racer and had a proud moment coming first one year winning 50p! I was thrilled. These days I avoid any races but my kids raced as children and I'm sure my grandchild will too ❤️

Sometimes we have celebs attend too. Chris Mason BBC political editor and soap stars such as Emmerdales Cain Di**le ( Jeff Hordley)and Zoe Henry from EastEnders and Coronation Street have been spotted enjoying the bank holiday fun.

I love that I pass this tradition to my family and have also had guests come and join us at the sports too.

Happy National Dog Day from Heavenly Hebden!

Today we’re celebrating one very special four legged star… Dora, who plays Trikiwoo in All Creatures Great and Small.

Here she is on set in Heavenly Hebden, getting ready for her scene in Series 7, with the wonderful Jill Clark from First Choice Animals helping Dora prepare for her moment in front of the cameras.

It’s always fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes, and Dora certainly looks like she knows exactly what’s expected of her!

At Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage, we love seeing the Yorkshire Dales brought to life on screen, especially when there are dogs involved.

Happy National Dog Day, Dora. We’ll be watching out for you! 🐶

Uncover Moorside

You may think you know the Yorkshire Dales. Perhaps you have visited Grassington, walked beside the Wharfe or explored the villages and valleys before.

But have you discovered Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage?
Tucked away in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Moorside is a place to slow down, breathe in the views and experience the Dales through every season.

A spacious, comfortable holiday cottage for families and friends, with wonderful walks, villages and Dales adventures waiting just beyond the door. From our secluded footpath, access 3 fantastic walks.

Sometimes ....

A few days where there’s room for everyone to be together, but also space to disappear with a good book, enjoy a quiet morning or simply sit and take in the view.

At Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage, our family friendly spaces are made for exactly that.

Gather around the dining table for meals and games. Step outside to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales together. Find a quiet corner on the mezzanine. Or simply sit back and watch the hills change with the light.

With beautiful views, peaceful spaces and walks straight from the door, it’s the kind of break where everyone can enjoy the Dales in their own way.

If you’ve been thinking about a last minute escape, perhaps this is your sign.

Our last short break is available for the summer holidays over bank holiday weekend.

🎬 June 2023 in Grassington, filmed by Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage

If you’re an All Creatures Great and Small fan, you’ll know that watching the finished episode is only part of the story…

The 2023 Christmas Special, “On a Wing and a Prayer”, is Episode 7 of Series 4 and originally aired on Channel 5 on 21 December 2023.

But what you see on screen is very different from what you experience when you actually watch the filming happening in Grassington. Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage has been following the filming of All Creatures Great and Small since October 2019, and incredibly, we’re still watching the filming now in 2026!

Here we have Siegfried Farnon, played by Sam West, and Richard Carmody, played by James Anthony-Rose, leaving the outside of Skeldale House carrying a goose and Christmas treats as they head towards the Drovers to celebrate Christmas Day with family and friends.
Meanwhile, Helen is in labour with heavenly Hebden's Jimmy.

The next two clips are taken from the finished TV episode as it aired on Channel 5. Notice how much quicker the scene is on television? That’s because what you see on screen has been carefully edited. When you’re actually in Grassington watching the filming, a scene can be performed many, many times. There are:
Rehearsals
Camera rehearsals
Different angles
Changes in position
Then the actual filming.

Sometimes you can watch the same moment happening again and again, from a completely different perspective, before eventually seeing a few seconds of it appear in the finished programme.

📍 Stay in the Yorkshire Dales. Walk in the footsteps of the cast. Discover the filming locations. And see where the magic happened. We can help you discover ACGAS magic.

If you’d like to stay at Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage and explore All Creatures Great and Small country for yourself, get in touch or use the link in our bio to check availability.

If you repost this reel, please tag Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage. We’ve filmed this footage ourselves, so please don’t download our reel and repost it as your own. ❤️

When did you last send a postcard? 5, 20, 30 years ago? We'd love to bring back this lovely tradition.

When you stay with us, why not pick up a postcard from us at Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage, sit in our garden at the picnic table and write home about the lovely things you’ve seen and done!

We love this postcard that was written by a child in 1994! We found this perfect example from the past in a charity shop recently. Isn't it lovely to see?
