Haworth and Brontë Country

With its situation above the Worth Valley amid the bleak Pennine moors, Haworth is internationally famous for its connection with the Brontë sisters, who wrote most of their famous novels while living at the Haworth Parsonage, when their father was the parson at the adjacent Haworth church.

We began our day in the town of Keighley, a few miles southwest of Haworth. The Keeley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic preserved steam line connects runs through the valley. We took a steam train to Haworth.


The Brontë Parsonage Museum is maintained by the Brontë Society in honor of the famed Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë. The museum is in an area of England covered in much open, expansive moorland.


The Brontë's father, Patrick was minister at the Haworth church across the churchyard.


The Brontë sisters' brother, Bramwell, was fond of the local pub just down the street, the Black Bull.
