AIDENSFIELD

Heartbeat Aidensfield - more photos

 

In 1992, Yorkshire Television started filming the pilot series of a new TV drama, based on Nicholas Rhea's books about a young London policeman in the 1960's, who leaves the rat race, to become a local village bobby on the North Yorkshire Moors. In the books (and the Heartbeat TV series) the village is called Aidensfield, but in real life it is Goathland, a tiny moorland village between Whitby and Pickering. The first series, was only 6 episodes, and was done as a "trial". The programme was such a success, that it has now become the UK's no 1 drama series, and attracts huge TV audiences all over the world. Heartbeat started as a trial in 1992, but series 17 started with episode 325, in November 2007. The village is now probably better known as Aidensfield, than Goathland. More photographs here!
