Step back in time on this Emmerdale Tour by Coach, perfect for long-time fans of the show wanting to explore the classic filming of locations of ITV’s soap classic. The Emmerdale Tour of Classic Locations focuses on the early years of the beloved soap opera, spanning from its debut in 1972 through to 1997. Along the way, you’ll uncover fascinating facts and trivia about how the show, originally titled Emmerdale Farm, was brought to life and how it revolved around Annie Sugden’s farmstead.
As the tour unfolds, you’ll discover how Emmerdale has evolved over the decades, from its early days to the present. Learn about the different filming techniques used across various locations, including the Leeds Studio, the Harewood sets, and iconic outdoor spots that have played a role in shaping the show’s history.
Your journey begins in Leeds City Centre, where you’ll pass by the ITV Studios, home to the interior filming of Emmerdale. You’ll also see exterior locations that have been used as Hotten General Hospital, providing a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes magic of television production. The tour then takes you to Otley, which has doubled as the fictional town of Hotten from 1972 to the present day. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore the town’s charming market square, frequently featured in the show, and enjoy a break in one of the local cafés.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to the village of Esholt in West Yorkshire, which served as the original Emmerdale Village. With approximately 45 minutes to explore, you can walk the same streets as your favorite characters and even enjoy a drink in the original Woolpack pub, which appeared in the series from 1976 to 1997, as well as in a special episode featuring Ashley in 2016.
The tour also includes a brief stop at Butler’s Farm, the home of Moira Barton. While the property is privately owned, you’ll have the opportunity to capture photos from the coach. Additionally, you’ll pass by the farm near Leathley where scenes from the early years of Emmerdale Farm were originally filmed.
To make your experience even more memorable, the tour heads into the stunning Yorkshire Dales, offering breathtaking views of the countryside that has served as the show’s backdrop for decades. You’ll also catch a glimpse of Home Farm, a key location that is not recreated at the Harewood set, making this stop a special part of the journey.
Finally, your Emmerdale Classic Locations Coach Tour will return you to Leeds Railway Station, concluding a day filled with nostalgia and unforgettable moments.
