The Great Outdoors

The August Issue of The Great Outdoors has an article about Brontë country:

To mark Emily Brontë's bicentenary, Andrew Galloway takes a walk across the Yorkshire moors that inspired Wuthering Heights. (...)

Resisting the nostalgic allure of the museum, I resolved to head for the moors and, rather than linger among the archaic anthology of gravestones in the churchyard, took the well-marked footpath beside the parsonage meadow then dog-legged towards Penistone Hill, where a slim finger of Haworth Moor extended from Wether Hill to touch the skirts of the town. It was onto the moors here that the young Brontes would take their afternoon exercise, often accompanied by the family servants Sarah and Nancy Garrs, while their father, the Rev Patrick Bronte, attended to parish business. Charlotte Brontes friend Ellen Nussey recalled in her memoirs that Emily's favourite walk was along Sladen Beck to a place known by Emily as 'The meeting of the waters: Here the children would sit in the sunshine and play in the russet streams that fell from the heather-clad moors.
