Happy Valley returned to our screens for its third series in 2023 and fans have loved spending their Sunday nights immersed in the BBC One police drama. It stars Sarah Lancashire as Sergeant Catherine Cawood and James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce, the man who raped her daughter.
The drama was filmed at various locations in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, a dramatic landscape of steep-sided valleys and moorland, with the Rochdale Canal weaving its way through it.
There are several charming towns and villages found in the area, including the pretty village of Mytholmroyd, which has served as a backdrop for some of the scenes in the show. The village is around an hour’s drive away from Greater Manchester, or a 40-minute direct train ride from Victoria Station, making it the perfect place for a day trip.
