Ponden Hall
Ponden Hall is a sensational find. It’s an old stone farmhouse that’s been converted into an award-winning bed and breakfast. Gaze out of the mullion windows, huddle up on the period furniture and marvel at the original paintings. The bedrooms come with box beds, rocking horses and raftered ceilings – two even have log stoves. And it’s oozing with history too – it’s said to have been the inspiration for Thruscross Grange in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.
You’re in the heart of Brontë Country here, just three miles from the town of Haworth where you can visit the Brontë Parsonage Musuem and the Keighley and Worth Valley Steam Railway. Or you can brave the weather to enjoy the stunning natural landscape on the edge of Haworth Moor overlooking Ponden Reservoir and near to the Pennine Way, which is perfect for winter walks. For a bite to eat, head to The Grouse Inn in nearby Oldfield for modern British cuisine, or The Old Silent Inn, a historic pub that has a menu full of local produce. (Joseph Sheerin)

Directed by Arts West’s Matthew Wright, the playhouse’s 10-person chamber version scales down the action of the original musical production but delivers the same full-throated story of its title heroine, set to Paul Gordon’s Tony-nominated music.

A contributor to The Herald-News tells about a childhood dream:

When I was a child, I wanted to meet my favorite authors and ask them questions. Of course, I knew meeting Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte Brontë, and even Laura Lee Hope (before I learned she wasn't a real person) was impossible. (Denise M. Baran-Unland)
