Yorkshire Dales estate Broughton Sanctuary, that dates back to the 11th century and featured in Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small, has been named among the most exciting places to visit by National Geographic.

The National Geographic has listed its 13 most exciting places to visit in 2024 and North Yorkshire came seventh place, with a special shout-out to Broughton Sanctuary. The historic estate, formerly named Broughton Hall, based in Skipton was built in 1097 and has been the residence of the Tempest family for nearly 1,000 years. Its mission is to be a regenerative space that is rooted in the nature and wellbeing of humanity and the planet.

We are trying to become this sanctuary, a safe haven.” Broughton Sanctuary has grown in popularity, partly due to being a filming location for various TV shows and films including Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small , BBC One’s Gentleman Jack, Calendar Girls and 2022 biographical drama film Emily based on author Emily Bronte. The estate’s tourism has grown by 30 per cent over the last year, this is mainly due to major changes being implemented over the last five years.
