There's no way "Grassington" is a real place right? Right?!

Sure, it's in between Kettlewell, Blubberhouses, Giggleswick and Wigglesworth. (No, really)

GNUtrino is bag on. The village used to be recorded as Gherinstone, Garsington, or Gersington. It's a mix of Old Norse and Old English, meaning something like "the town with the grassy ings" (an "ing" is a dialect term for a meadow near a river).
