The production team went off for Christmas feeling really proud of their achievement. In December , after 22 years of filming there, the cast and crew bade farewell to Esholt as the curtain came down on the village being used for the village scenes in favour for the replica village on the Harewood Estate. Regarding the stonework of the buildings, Esholt is not a Dales village and Arncliffe was so when they were in talks of building a new village set they were to use the correct stonework to make the replica of Esholt look like a Dales village.

Esholt's buildings are coursed sandstone whereas Dales villages are built out of rubble style limestone which is not in courses. In Esholt there are stone lintels around the windows and you find them in Dales villages so they were kept but most corners of Dales villages have large stone called quoins. They did very good in recreating Esholt in terms of shape, size, geography and outlines of doors and windows Ie lintels but changed the stonework to make it look more Dales like.

They spread yoghurt over the stonework to encourage algae and moss to grow on parts of the walls them to make them look years old, and in time the stonework matches Esholt more in terms of colour. Mike Long toured a few real Dales villages to get ideas on how to recreate the stonework effect in the new village.

Filming begun on the new Harewood set in January The new set was much easier for the crew as there was a cafe on site for the cast and crew and they could really pan out to show the surrounding countryside. Episode 18th February was the fir. The first ever shot of the purpose built set shown in Emmerdale, 18 February In many scenes set in the Emmerdale Village Cemetery a lot of the graves are of characters who died in the serial from onwards plus Jacob Sugden , who died 6 days before the first episode airdate but there are also many headstones of unfamiliar names, seemingly past residents of the village never seen or mentioned in the serial.

When the purpose built set was being built, many headstones were transported from Woodgrange Park Cemetery in Manor Park, London after part of the cemetery was cleared to make way for new flats.

The chairman on the borough council heard that a new set was being built for Emmerdale so offered for Yorkshire TV to come and collect several headstones for the "Fake" cemetery.

This beautiful village soon became a tourist attraction with fans from all over the world descending on Esholt to see the villages and to have a drink in the village pub which was formerly The Commercial Hotel and was renamed The Woolpack Inn.

Esholt is one of the many places you will visit when you join an 'Emmerdale' filming location tour, where if there is time, you can have a drink in The Woolpack. The majority of location footage also takes place in areas of West Yorkshire such as the fictional market town of 'Hotten' which is actually shot in Otley located on the outskirts of Leeds. The beautiful town of Otley is another location that you will be able to visit on 'Emmerdale' filming location tours. Since , filming for 'Emmerdale' takes place on a purpose-built closed set on the Harewood Estate.
