My Yorkshire Great and Small

A personal guide to Yorkshire by the county’s beloved vet, Channel 5’s Peter Wright. From wild animals and wild swimming, to great places for walking, running, eating, and sleeping—the Yorkshire Vet takes us on an enchanting journey through the hidden gems of the most beautiful county in the world. Peter Wright describes the bygone ways of his childhood, and the fusion of traditional and modern farming methods that characterizes the countryside today. Packed with engaging tales of farm animals and pets of all shapes and sizes, this is a heartwarming love letter to the places, people, and creatures of Yorkshire. Peter’s passion for nature shines through on every page, as he explains why our environment is so important—and what we can do to protect it for future generations.

Peter Wright qualified from the University of Liverpool in 1981 and has worked at Skeldale for longer than he cares to admit! He worked with Alf Wight and Donald Sinclair, the original James Herriot and Siegfried Farnon, and enjoys telling the younger vets tales from his time with them.
