Filming is done in West Yorkshire, in and around the small town of Holmfirth, which is located five miles south of Huddersfield and nineteen miles northeast of Manchester.
Largely as a result of the programme, the town has developed a thriving tourist industry, with visitors coming to look for Sid and Ivy's cafe, Nora Batty's house, Clegg's home and so on.
Several companies have grown up to organise tours of "Summer Wine Country".
