The home of the famous Bronte Sisters, quaint cobbled street village with cafes, independent shops, and of course The Bronte Parsonage Museum.
Haworth’s Main Street is virtually unchanged since The Bronte sisters wrote their classic novels.
Haworth is definitely worth a visit approximately 15 miles away from the house.
I would also recommend a walk across The Pennine Moors above Haworth where you can find ‘Top Withens’ the derelict remains of a house where it is thought that Emily Bronte got her inspiration for ‘Wuthering Heights’
