Haworth
& the Bronte Parsonage Museum

14 miles from Skipton

Steeped in history, and booming with sightseers during the tourist season, Haworth is perhaps best known for it's connections with the Bronte family. Beautifully preserved, the original Haworth parsonage is now an excellent museum for Brontė fans. Nearby is Top Withins Farm, the inspiration for Wuthering Heights.
The outstanding Brontė Society website, at http://www.bronte.info/ has tons of information on the parsonage, the museum, and the Brontės in general.

 
The rugged beauty of the local area fills the imagination with romantic images...
This is an ideal spot for either a short ramble, or more adventurous fell walking.

The perfect Easter Card
Sheep are very forward here, and are willing to share a crust with you! Or even a Bronteburger?
