The Brontes, Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre
About this activity

Insider tips
- ★Haworth's steep cobbled Main Street is best tackled early in the day before coach tours arrive; quieter mid-afternoon
- ★The Parsonage Museum's upper rooms (bedrooms and study) are intimate and cluttered—visit last to absorb the atmosphere without rushing
- ★Wycoller Hall is outdoors and atmospheric in mist or low light; bring a camera but expect muddy paths
Good to know

- •Haworth is hilly; wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip (cobbles can be slippery when wet)
