Coronation Street or Emmerdale Visitor Tours?

Jo4

Does anyone know if Coronation Street or Emmerdale does any visitor tours for members of the public?

As far as I know both are now closed sets. Coronation Street used to be part of The Granada Studio Tours at Manchester, Which was a very good attraction but sadly closed some years ago (my daughter does not believe that I have actually walked down Coronation Street).

As For Emmerdale, there are still bus tours advertised as 'Emmerdale' tours but these mealy take you to the real life village which was used in Emmerdale some years ago. I believe the propose built Emmerdale village is now in a 'secret' location on The Harwood estate in Leeds.

The new one as mentioned by mew is here in the Harewood complex, north Leeds.

There is a footpath from eccup ln and a lovely pub on the road so you can get to part of it e.g. Holdgate fm



but the rest of it is sealed off
