Beefsteak 305 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Goathland in the Yorkshire dales is where Heartbeat was filmed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 We were once in Scotland and visiting Pittenweem. This was September and lovely weather and everywhere was covered in snow. They were filming The Winter Guest. When it was released, watched it and it was bloody boring! Also been to the Bonanza film location at Lake Tahoe, which was turned into a tourist place in 1983 when we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Once went to the place where 'Anne Of Greengables' was written, on Prince Edward Island. When the guide told us Japanese couples came over for a couple of days to be married there, we didn't believe him, but sure enough, we saw such a wedding going on, complete with 'Anne' being featured in the wedding photo's.

Cliff Ton 10,494 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Holmfirth, where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed. Although it isn't a fictitious place because it really exists, but it was never mentioned by name in the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob.L 1,091 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 If anyone has seen the film "Once upon a time in the Midlands" with Robert Carlyle, Rhys Ifans and Ricky Tomlinson, you'll know that Alfreton Road is in part of Glasgow. Most of it was filmed in and around Gedling, Carlton, and the Arboretum, and it's worth watching just to spot the locations. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301684/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Beefsteaks post (#2) brought back some memories to me. I'd met a girl at the Elizabethan Ballroom, in the Co-operative House on Upper Parliament Street. We'd been together a couple of weeks when she told me that she was going away on holiday. She was going with her best friend and her friends parents. It had been arranged for a while and the place they went to was Goathland. While she was away I received letters every day from her and it must have done the trick because we went on to get married and are still together today. Apart from Beefsteaks post, I don't think I've ever seen Goathland mentioned anywhere since that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 On one of our hols a few years back,we went to Whitby,and decided to look for the Heartbeat setting,We found Goathland, renamed Aidensfield for the show,and also The Goathland Hotel,alias The Aidensfield,across the road was Scripps Funeral Parlour/Garage,which was actually being used,When we walked over i was a bit worried about intruding,the person there must have realized my dilemma and came out to us and encouraged us to take photos,it was a lovely place with sheep just roaming on the grass verges,aaaah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 On our first ever date , in the UK, I took SWMBO to Pickering, we had a trip up the steam railway to Goathland ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Close but no cigar. Miles From Nowhere. Sorry but I agree with Babs on this one, her definition is what it is locally known as, used to live down the road from it. Used to be a big bikers meeting place.

darkazana 1,736 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I also went to Goathland years before it became famous. As well as its obvious reason for fame it also is home to The Malyon Spout, a waterfall worth seeing. Also on my list of places is Plockton, in Scotland where Hamish Macbeth was filmed...another Robert Carlyle series. A lovely village just north of Lochalsh with palm trees growing along the road. Definitely worth a visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
