The Brontes

The Bronte family lived at the Haworth parsonage (now the Bronte Parsonage Museum), where the landscape fuelled their imagination in writing their classic novels - including 'Wuthering Heights' (which was reputedly inspired by the isolated moorland farmstead of Top Withens) and 'Jane Eyre'.

Other Bronte related attractions include the Bronte birthplace in Thornton on the outskirts of Bradford (where Charlotte, Patrick Branwell, Emily and Anne were born while their father was parson at Thornton church), Ponden Hall near Haworth ('Thrushcross Grange' in 'Wuthering Heights') and Oakwell Hall and Red House in Kirkless ('Fieldhead' and 'Briarmains' respectively in Charlotte Bronte's 'Shirley').
