@ITT56RLC After visiting the farmhouse (see other posts) I contacted Gillian's agent who told me she had married and moved to Norfolk, if I remember rightly. Her agent was happy to pass on a letter in which I expressed my appreciation of the series and the hospitality of the family who were living there. I mentioned that she would be assured of a warm welcome if she visited in the future. I was told by the family that Arthur English had visited some time earlier. No idea if Gillian ever has.

@chevyvictor When I visited the farmhouse in 1978 (see above) the Lightning Tree had just been felled and what was left of it was awaiting disposal, though whether for firewood I don't know. I grabbed a piece as a souvenir but didn't keep it. I believe the tree was not original but had been put there especially for the series.

@maninthestreet01 In 1978 while on holiday from New Zealand I visited the Harewood estate and the chap in the estate office was happy to point out where the series was filmed, without even being asked! What's more he gave me the phone number of the family who were living there so I could arrange a visit. They made me most welcome, let me sign the visitor's book and offered me a pair of wellington boots so I could wander around outside and take photos. Definitely a highlight of my holiday!

really enjoyed !!!!
Have they decided to make the locations a tourist attraction yet? I'm sure it would be a worthwhile decision.

@JulieJackson1 No, its located on the private Harewood Estate, strangely enough Emmerdale is filmed on the same estate.

They want to keep the location secret, but say it's 7 miles from Leeds, in the heart of the Harewood estate - probably not that difficult to find.

Easy if you know where! Just like Emmerdale.
