Leeds List has selected the Brontë Parsonage Museum as one of 'The Best Museums in Yorkshire'.
Brontë Parsonage Museum
Found at the top of Haworth’s cobbled streets, the Brontë Parsonage was home to one of the most famous families in Yorkshire. Still with its 19th century furnishings, it’s now a fully-fledged museum dedicated to the three sisters. Many of the rooms have been preserved, so you can see the desk they wrote their world famous novels at and get a feel for their day-to-day routines. Separate exhibition spaces house their diaries and other personal possessions. Keep an eye out for their ever-changing displays too, which give you a glimpse into what life was like in this secluded village in the Victorian era. (Emma Cooke)

Jane Eyre
This smart and vivid 2011 updating of the classic 1847 gothic romantic drama by Charlotte Brontë features Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland) as Jane and Michael Fassbender (X-Men) as the blighted Edward Rochester, the master of a spooky estate who will eventually be her love interest, but not without a world of trouble on the journey there.
It's a sprawling story that takes in Jane's tragic upbringing and casts her out into a world ridden with secrets, lies and, of course, the stuck-up manners and mores of 19th Century England. (Gary Steel)
