More about this scene

Rushing through Littondale is the River Skirfare, which crosses under the bridge. This is prime sheep-farming country, with wide open fields on either side of the river valley. When Charles Kingsley stayed at Bridge End, the area inspired him to write his novel The Water Babies. Fame also came to Arncliffe in 1972 when the church of St Oswald and The Falcon pub were used as locations for the TV series Emmerdale Farm.
