Lancashire Live recommends some hidden tourist gems in Lancashire:
Wycoller Village and Country Park
Colne
Lancashire is home to many beautiful parks and this one is no exception.
Set between Colne and Barnoldswick, the park is still home to the fantastic ruins of Wycoller Hall and the old bridges across the nearby beck, both of which have stood for more than 1,000 years.
The hall is meant to be the inspiration for Jane Eyre's Ferndean Manor and is set amongst beautiful rolling hills. (Dominic Moffitt)
Society19 helps you prepare an upcoming fall break:
Haworth, Yorkshire.
This is a perfect escape from the usual busy atmosphere you’re probably tired of. Haworth has retained its peaceful and relaxing vibe that is has long been famous for. There are a multitude of gorgeous cottages to rent out (try AirBnB for some amazingly great prices!) where you can cosy up on the chillier nights with a hot drink around a beautifully lit fire.
In the central village you’ll find a large range of cute and scenic cafes, Victorian style shops, plenty of welcoming and relaxing pubs, an old-fashioned steam train to have a ride on, and the Brontë Parsonage Museum if you fancy a trip down the literary lane (I always do!). However, the best quality about Haworth is it’s connection to the stunning Yorkshire Moors that interlink with the Pennines. Its views in the Autumn are a must-see for any walk/view lover – think of that colourful palette of Autumn colours spread over its already scenic landscape. You’ll be able to find guides showing plenty of routes for the best views (both easy and more strenuous walking) online and in Haworth itself. (Chelsea Watkiss)
Daily Monitor (Nigeria) interviews Immaculate Acan, writer and medical student:
Her love for writing didn’t start at Nabisunsa. First, it was a strong love for reading earlier on in her childhood. “My mum had a literature background. We had so much to read at home; newspapers, classic books like Jane Eyre, children’s books, a lot of European fairy tales, and so on. At Sir Apollo Kaggwa Primary School where I went, we had a diverse library,” Acan says. (Tony Mushoborozi)
La Nación (Argentina) informs of an upcoming course in Buenos Aires:
Las escritoras y periodistas Laura Ramos, Esther Cross, Flavia Pittella e Irene Chikiar Bauer compartirán sus investigaciones sobre el universo social y literario de las hermanas Brontë, Mary Shelley, Jane Austen y Virginia Woolf, grandes narradoras inglesas, en un curso que comenzará mañana en la Asociación de Amigos del Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes y se extenderá durante catorce encuentros hasta el 3 de diciembre. (Translation)
Oggi (Italy) interviews the writer Jonathan Bazzi:
Si apre qui il campo dell’immaginazione, della creazione artistica. Basti pensare ad Emily Brontë che ha scritto forse la più bella storia d’amore della letteratura senza probabilmente aver mai neanche dato un bacio. Febbre usa del materiale autobiografico, ma per me è un oggetto estetico. Le mie scelte sono sempre state scelte narrative, non è certo una riproduzione in scala 1:1 del reale. (Michela Rosati) (Translation)
Charlotte Brontë is quoted in a (quite biased) opinion article in The Chattanoogan. AnneBrontë.org posts about the influence of Shelley in the Brontës. The Brontë Babe posts about the 1829 juvenilia piece by Charlotte Brontë, An Adventure in Ireland. The Eyre Library (in Spanish) lists several Brontë-related gifts.
