Explore Haworth and Beyond
Haworth is famously associated with the Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—who wrote some of the most celebrated novels in English literature. The Brontë family lived in the village from 1820, and their former home, the Brontë Parsonage, is now a museum dedicated to their lives and works. The rugged beauty of the surrounding moorland inspired much of their writing, particularly Emily’s “Wuthering Heights.”
