What things would you like to do before you kick the bucket?
Much as I love Summer Wine and Holmfirth, I would suggest that
you divide your time among Haworth, Hawes, and Holmfirth.
Haworth gives you The Bronte stuff, the Keighly and Worth
Valley Railway, and wonderful walks out on the moors above
the village, as well as some really terrific pubs (The Olde Silent,
right Terry).
Hawes gives you access to The Dales, The Tan Hill pub, and
bunches of small villages with nice pubs and great walking.
Oh yes, the cheese factory as well.
Holmfirth gives you more great walks, some nice pubs (altho
The Nook has become kinda noisy of late), all the SW stuff,
and great walks up to Holme and Holme Moss, as well as to
Jackson Bridge and Hepworth and New Mill.
I would like to move back up north in the US as well.
Thank you Chuck and Terry for the advice. When it is time for me to travel to Yorkshire I shall consult with both of you. Chuck, you seem to be the foremost Yank expert on Yorkshire.
I did a little bit of searching and came across the Ribblehead Viaduct. Was that used in any Summer Wine filming?
Tallahassee Florida, to somewhere near Pennsylvania. I grew up near Pittsburgh, on a farm. I really miss the farm life and what bothers me most is my kids are missing out on the hard work and rewards in running a farm. They are "city folks" now. ooo! a bug.I would like to move back up north in the US as well.
From where to where?? Currently in north carolina, came
from new england. winters up there are horrid; summer
down here is awful. question of heat vs ac. still not sure.

No that was not used in losw filming
I recall an early Foggy or Seymour episode that ended with a view of a viaduct structure (although it might have been transporting water?!). Do any of you Summer Wine experts know what I am referring to? Whatever it was, it seemed really interesting.

According to this: http://wikimapia.org/10381761/Thornton-Viaduct
Thornton Viaduct was used in "Three men and a mangle"
Was it the same viaduct in "Here we go into the wild blue yonder"?
The Blue Yonder bridge was south of Holmfirth,I did find it on google maps but I have forgotten where is was
