Epic Yorkshire

Filmed over the course of six years, Epic Yorkshire is a breath-taking cinematic journey that captures England’s largest county as it has never been seen before. Using cutting-edge aerial cinematography and mesmerising time-lapse photography, the film presents an entirely new perspective on Yorkshire’s dramatic landscapes, historic landmarks, and industrial heritage.

From the rolling green valleys of the Dales to the rugged cliffs of the coast, every sequence has been carefully crafted to showcase the region in its most awe-inspiring light. The unique format allows viewers not only to witness the scale and splendour of Yorkshire, but also to feel the passage of time across its seasons, weather, and changing skies.

This is not just a documentary — it is a celebration of place, heritage, and identity. Self-funded and independently produced, Epic Yorkshire is driven by a single vision: to put Yorkshire firmly on the global map as one of the world’s most spectacular travel and cultural destinations.

Whether you are a lifelong resident or discovering the region for the first time, Epic Yorkshire promises a journey like no other — a chance to see the county’s beauty, history, and spirit from an entirely new vantage point.

Director Christian Wilkinson says:
As a Yorkshire-based filmmaker, I have always been inspired by the region’s landscapes, history, and sense of identity.

Epic Yorkshire grew from a simple idea: to capture the county in a way no one had ever attempted before. Over six years I travelled across the region, often alone, using drones and time-lapse rigs to patiently record both sweeping aerial perspectives and the subtle passing of time.

This film is deeply personal to me. It is a love letter to the county where I live and work, and a way of sharing Yorkshire’s beauty with the wider world.

My hope is that audiences will not only be entertained, but also feel pride, curiosity, and connection — whether they know Yorkshire well, or are seeing it for the very first time.
