Wuthering Heights is the buzzword of the moment, and as enthusiasts delve deeper into Emily Brontë's world, they're eager to include Yorkshire in their travel itinerary this year.

This renewed interest in Emily Brontë's seminal novel and its enigmatic author naturally draws visitors to a quaint village nestled in the heart of Yorkshire. A trip to Haworth, tucked away in West Yorkshire, provides an opportunity to tread the same paths as the renowned Brontë sisters.

While the village remains a cherished home for many locals and boasts a rich history, complete with cobbled streets and flourishing independent businesses, it's the literary legacy that continually lures visitors. Naturally, after a day of cultural exploration, a welcoming café or traditional pub is essential, and Haworth certainly isn't lacking in these comforts.

From 1820 onwards, the illustrious Brontë sisters resided in a house at the top of the village's main cobbled street, directly opposite the church where their father served as a pastor. Emily both lived and died in this house, which has since been converted into the Brontë Parsonage Museum in tribute to the sisters.

The site boasts the world's largest Brontë collection, featuring unique items unavailable elsewhere. In addition to its displayed collection, the venue hosts a variety of exhibits, visits, events and more, offering visitors an immersive journey into the Brontë world.

Inside, visitors can delve into the rich history of these literary titans, with displays ranging from writing desks and letters to personal belongings such as clothing and furniture from their home. Literary enthusiasts will particularly appreciate viewing the youthful handwriting of Emily and her sisters, the very pen strokes that crafted some of the most celebrated English novels in history.

A recent visitor, who visited the site in January this year, stated: "I found it rather emotional looking at some of the items on display and will definitely be returning soon because the ticket lasts a year, and I'm pretty sure the museum is currently working on something new at the moment, but it's all a bit hush-hush for now."

Another shared: "This is the second time I have been to this museum, many years apart, and it was a joy to visit again. It is so well preserved, and effort has been made to source as much original furniture and fittings that were in the home originally."

For those keen to explore further and enjoy the great outdoors, the popular Brontë Way offers a trail passing several significant locations. The waterfall represents one such destination, requiring a 45-60 minute trek from the village.

It stands independently as a modest yet stunning water cascade on Sladen Beck, near Haworth, and is believed to have been regularly visited by the celebrated literary siblings. They would travel to the location seeking creative inspiration, and tourists have continued to gather there pursuing the same natural beauty their beloved writers so cherished.

After walking to the waterfall, one person shared: "Lovely place, stunning scenery, nice walks, so quiet and peaceful. Great place to relax. Would definitely recommend."

Given their father served as pastor of the local church, there exists an understandably powerful connection between the Brontë sisters and St Michael and All Angels' Church in Haworth.

Residing opposite meant they frequented the building considerably, serving as their worship venue throughout the 1800s, to such an extent that following their premature and tragic deaths, they were buried within the chapel.

Their father, Patrick Brontë, tragically outlived both his wife and all six children, opting to lay them to rest in his parish church. Their remains lie in a vault below the church, which now houses a memorial and the exquisite 'Brontë Window'.

To this day, it's believed that Patrick holds the record as the church's longest-serving minister with an impressive 41-year-long career. Regrettably, due to the premature deaths of many of his children, none went on to have offspring, and so it's likely that no members of that family line survive today.
