The pub that plays the
Aidensfield Arms is really named The Goathland Hotel. It can be found just up from the station on the left if you enter the
village from the station end, or on the right hand side near the end of the village if you approach from the Pickering direction
into Goathland . It is situated opposite the Aidensfield garage
This is the garage
and funeral directors now run by Bernie Scipps in the show, but it originally belonged to Malcolm Mostyn the local mechanic.
The sign - ‘Mostyn’s Garage and Funeral Directors’ is permanently on display outside the garage and all
the filming still takes place on the actual site. The garage can be found opposite the Goathland Hotel.
The stores in Aidensfield include: 'Aidensfield Stores',
a village store , the Moors outdoor Visitor Centre and of course the Post Office, plus tea rooms, all of which are found on
the main street in Goathland. This is Aidensfield Post Office the name Aidensfield
stays up permanently) The Post Office was run by Blaketon during the later half of series 7 and throughout series 8.
The village hall can
be found in Goathland, just before the turn off to Beckhole But when you visit the site the hall looks surprisingly small
fits in well with the character of the village
This is the new combind police and doctors surgury since the last police house
got bombed.... rob walker converted the new house be fore he left the series this is located in goathland as well
makes it easyer for filming
The church used in the series is the church in Goathland. This can be found
opposite the Mallyan Spout Hotel (where the cast sometimes stay) on the way into Goathland if you approach from the Pickering
direction.
This can be found coming from the Pickering direction on the right, leading
into Goathland, just up from the church. From the outside it is surprising how recognisable it is - the garden outside with
old farm machinery, sheds and caravans round the back make it look obviously like Claude’s place!. It is also a caravan
site
