Emmerdale itv1
muddymart:
just watching emmerdale,swmbo turned to me and said, "where's that then" good question, does anyone know where the ford is that the landrover goes through on the the break, and is it passable to civillians or just crew?
Bush Tucker Man:
Well isn't the actual village now 'custom' built in the grounds of Harewood estate??
Didn't the farm used to originally be up at Leathley (to the north-west ) of Otley
Then they used Esholt - off the A603, between Shipley & White Cross (where Harry Ramsdens is)
As far as I know they decided to recreate the village due to causing undue pressure on residents
The pub is still called the;
As for the ford.....
I'll force myself to try & watch the opening sequence & figure it out
The nearest ones (I know of) are;
Bardsey
Thorner (too awkward to film??)
Storiths
Dob Park

Hi Richard your quite right on all those, i know Esholt where the pub and the village are,quite right the filming all takes place in Harewood House,but to actually make a man made ford that looks that good must take some doing,so im sure it's filmed elsewhere, sometimes the landrover is shown on the beginning of emmerdale,then the ending of the first part/half,
Like myself i love yorkshire based films/programs, i was lucky enough to see some of the Heartbeat crew as they filmed in pudsey earlier last week, they film all the internal work in old mills and warehouses in pudsey and all the outside scenes at Goathland like we all know,
Good luck in the search for the ford , im looking deeper in to it,as we should be !!!! it looks quite open for dob park,though i could be wrong.

Yes, I once saw them filming in Otley. They'd turned the public toilets on the north side of the river (by the kids playgrounds) into a garage
Then I actually saw it on TV
Mr Derek (remember him on Basil Brush??) chased a motorbike up on Wheeldale Moor (Pickering - Grosmont road) & caught up with him at the toilets.
A heck of a chase in a Ford 100E?? :lol: :lol:

Dob Park is a very rough base nowadays & quite wooded, so I take it that it's a road ford???
Try Wet Roads?????
muddymart:
well to my amazement , plus nothing been on tv, ive found where the ford is on Emmerdale,
By reading up on some articles on the net,true or not, the actual landrover going through the ford is (non crew)ie : member of public.
Whilst harewood house is kept under strict security and all the bridleways and public access are closed down, during filming public access etc..is returned to normal allowing ramblers/spectators to roam at their own leisure on the 3 bridleways that criss cross the estate,and view filming and so on
wouldnt it be good and very unlikely if we all watched emmerdale oneday and discovery went through that ford with a mud-club logo on the bonnet :? :shock: :D
well heres the map link if it works
