The World of James Herriot is a museum attraction in Thirsk,

North Yorkshire (God’s Own Country), England.
Our attraction covers the life and books of James Alfred Wight, who
wrote under the pseudonym of James Herriot, and he became
one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century.
His books, a series of stories based on his experiences as a
young veterinary surgeon working among the farming community
of North Yorkshire, sold in their millions throughout the world. Their
great success spawned two feature films followed by the television
series, All Creatures Great and Small, which enjoyed global
success in the late 1970s and early 80s. Grand Central Railway
The attraction is located in the 1940s period house that was
the original practice of James Herriot, at 23 Kirkgate, known as
