Filming Where the Heart Is

Where the Heart Is


This popular heart-warming drama series about the lives and loves of a small Yorkshire community has established itself as one of ITV's top programmes. Much of the filming takes place in the Colne Valley villages of Slaithwaite and Marsden, which together become the fictional village of 'Skelthwaite'.

The Silent Woman pub in Slaithwaite, Marsden's health centre and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary will all be familiar to keen-eyed viewers as locations in the programme. Several other local landmarks and various shop fronts in Slaithwaite, Marsden, Milnsbridge and further afield have also been used.
Did you know...

The name of the fictitious town "Skelthwaite" in Where the Heart Is is an amalgamation of two real place names, Skelmanthorpe and Slaithwaite.
