North Yorks moors, i went to the village were its based when i was a kid. Very postcard-eque, there is a steam train that runs nearby too, massive white plume of smoke can be seen from miles away, would love to see it again with my kids thinking about it.

The setting for the village is indeed Goathland but much of the actual filming is done around Thornton Watlass in the Yorkshire Dales. Whether this has got anything to do with the fact that the exec producer, Keith Richardson, lives near Bedale is anyones guess.
We often see the Anglias etc buzzing about.

Just off the A169 Pickering to Whitby road - excellent road if there's no traffic around, plus loads of great lanes nearby if you can avoid the sheep.
A lot of other filming done around Otley area as is handy for Yorkshire Television (also Emmerdale, Frost etc etc)
As for the cars, I think every 'classic' in North Yorkshire is advertised as having been on it at some point.

Hmm.. I didn´t knom that Emmerdale is filmed also at the same place. We had a plan with my bf to drive through the place when we went up north but we didn´t really have time. Would love to see the area, looks so pretty.
It is, but it's also pretty bleak! Especially in winter when you can't see more than 50 yards and daren't take your eyes off the road anyway.
I prefer the Lake District to the NY Moors, even though the LD is 100 miles away and the NYM 15...

Emmerdale...
Read somewhere the set was built in the grounds of Harewood House, somewhere near the bottom of the Hill Climb....
Hillclimb is to the east of the A61 Leeds-Harrogate road, off the Harewood - Wetherby road. Easily seen if you look to the left as you come up Harewood bank.
Emmerdale has purpose built set to the back of Harewood House, nice footpaths nearby but can't be seen from the road.
The old emmerdale farm is on the B6161 between Pool in Wharfedale and Harogate , at Leathley and can be seen from the road ont left
and the old Woolpack at Esholt - Meeting place for Yorks and Humberside TVR region
The local Police Station in Heartbeat is at Askwith Nr Otley on the left when heading from Otley
As for Goathland - theres a TVR trip there for lunch South Yorks Bucket and Spade run May 5thish
