Haworth is best known for the Brontë sisters, but this picturesque moorland village offers much more. The Brontë Parsonage Museum and the Keighley Worth Valley Railway are must‑see attractions, while the cobbled Main Street is lined with independent shops, handmade chocolates, art galleries, and inviting cafés. In 2002 Haworth became the world’s first Fairtrade Village, later joined by Keighley and Thornton. It is twinned with Machu Picchu, and you can learn more about its Fairtrade passion at Sonia’s Smile, a shop on Main Street.
Fans of the Brontës can explore the Parsonage, their home from 1820, before walking onto the moors that inspired their writing. Highlights include Brontë Bridge, Brontë Falls, Ponden Kirk, and the ruins of Top Withens, widely believed to have inspired Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Step into the windswept landscape that shaped her dark romance — you can find out more on Visit Bradford’s Wuthering Heights in Haworth. Beyond the village lies the rugged Pennine countryside, where you can walk the Brontë Way, a trail connecting key family sites, or enjoy shorter routes across quiet lanes and brooding moorland.
