I have like others watched the Grand Depart short film many times, and it got me to wondering where all the wonderful shots were filmed.
So can we have a spot the name and places of these places, roads , views etc that make up the entire film.

To start
At 44 seconds the rides past the chap painter on the ladder next to the green clock, at the foot of Crag Vale hill climb 2.4km from Mytholmroyde (by the way house owner get your clock working as it always says 3.50)

any one know the rest

It was seeing that whippet that did it.

As quoting doesn't show you everything at once, I've copied it all into my own message.

0:38 - Malham Cove
1:07 - Fountains Abbey
1:10 - Thornton Force also at 3:15
1:11 - Ribblehead Viaduct
1:48 - York Minster
1:56 - Aysgarth Falls
2:34 - Humber Bridge

Inspired guesses:

0:28 - Malham Tarn Yup - the craggy bit on the right is Great Close Scar
0:42 - that bit of road looks like the descent into Kettlewell from the south (but the houses between here and your Kettlewell clip below are not in Kettlewell, I think

0:52 - 0:56 - Kettlewell (not sure)
1:03 - Castle Bolton yes
1:15 - Flamborough Head Lighthouse agree
1:22 - Staithes agree
1:23 - may be Robin Hood's Bay
1.25 - may be the RSPB place at Bempton cliffs
1:37 - Haworth

1:44 - Richmond Castle
1:54 - Harewood House

Would love to have some of the hills/mountains/roads named, especially the ones at:

0:22 - road ?
0:30 - hilltop Looks like the top of Ingleborough to me
0:59 - 1:02 - hill Any number of places this could be - not enough detail to tell.
2:23 - road
2:42 - mill
3:01 - hill possibly Whernside?
3:04 - road
3:10 Gayle, on the way down from Fleet Moss into Hawes
3:17 - hill could be Ingleborough again, from the east
