Very well done. I never met Dr. Wight, but did talk to him 8n the early 90's by phone from Sanford florida. I have all his books and he sent me autograph plates to insert in them. A lovely man, gone to soon.😢

I was there in 2013. Didn't realize how long a walk it was from the train station, along the race course. Having read all the Herriot books, that's where I was headed. It was quite an experience for me, a Canadian, being in the place where my mind had been having experienced the books.

We go this route through thirsk and up Sutton bank when we visit Scarborough what a lovely lovely drive greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Was there last year for my first visit to Yorkshire. Went to the James Herriot Experience and loved it. We were there on market day so it was very busy. St Mary's church was where Alf Wright (James Herriot) was married.

Going to Thirsk tomorrow! Thanks for the preview!

Hope you enjoy it!

I live here - just off the Market Place. My Grandfather was a local cafe proprietor, Church Organist and Choirmaster. My Aune played hockey for Yorkshire and The North and was an 'A' accredited hockey umpire. The Saturday & Monday markets are still alive and kicking but the Internet has hit them hard and there are nowhere near the number of stalls as in years gone by.

Another awesome part of the Yorkshires this was really great and I really like the style of buildings and houses here thanks. 🇬🇧👋👋🇬🇧

A nice ancient town, thanks for the trip - I liked your joke about iced fingers 😂😂 And just how many ancient towns have a road called 'Finkle' ? What on earth is a Finkle 😅

I have only seen the name Finkle in northern towns. Elsewhere on the Internet I read that "The Danish language, along with the Old Norse tongue, contained words such as finkle or vincle which implied a corner, bend or angle, particularly one in a narrow, winding street. The word can also mean crooked as in bent, or a short winding street."

Wow , just watched this . Its a large town . I loved the Harriet series .he did say it was a novel with actual like events . Tv gave the illusion this was a very small yown .it doesn't look that way . Thankyou enjoyed the walk .

The earlier Herriot series was filmed in other Yorkshire towns such as Askrigg in Wensleydale. That is a smaller and, arguably, more picturesque place than Thirsk.

Have watched years of walk vids of cities around the world too many to list, same with England but towns in the Lake district and Cornwall to name a few. Whether a town is attractive or not is subjective, just like art so talking dumb to a stranger behind a keyboard is weak
