As we approached Thirsk it was pouring rain but we were comforted by the "brown" heritage signs pointing the way to the "World of James Herriot". However on reaching the market place and having parked the car we couldn't work out where it was. A visit to the Tourist Information fixed that. It is just beyond the market place in... More

this was good but a little expensive. £8.50 i think was round it in no time.

We went here more for my parents, who were visiting, than the children - they've never seen All Creatures Great and Small. Even so, all generations found the experience fun, interesting and informative.

When we decided to go to England we told our friends that visiting the World of James Herriot was an absolute must. We were not disappointed at all. The museum was all we hoped it would be & more. It... More

If you love the books you will love this look into his life. I got the recorder and listened to further information about him narrated by his son. I spent almost 3 hours going through the museum reading the informational panels. I walked around for an hour and a half. They let me take a break to get lunch of... More
