Haworth & Bronte Country, Yorkshire

Haworth is situated above the Worth Valley amid the Pennine moors in Yorkshire. Haworth was where the Brontë sisters spent the majority of their young adult lives, as their father Patrick was the Anglican priest of the local village church.

Brontë Parsonage Museum

History

His daughters, Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848) and Anne Brontë (1820-1849) are regarded as some of England’s most famous novelists and poets.

Charlotte is best known for her novel Jane Eyre, Emily for Wuthering Heights and Anne for The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

At the time, Haworth was a polluted industrial town with a high mortality rate, as can be demonstrated by the early deaths of all the literary Brontë sisters, none of whom reached 40.

Today their former family home is preserved as the Brontë Parsonage Museum and is a site of pilgrimage for Brontë fans from all over the world.
