HaworthHaworth is a tourist destination due to its association with the Bronte sisters and the preserved heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.It is first mentioned as a settlement in 1209, where they refer to it as a ‘hedged enclosure’ or ‘hawthorn enclosure’. It was named Haworth on a 1771 map.The Bronte family moved to the village in 1850 after the patriarch of the family, local parish priest Patrick Bronte, was invited by Benjamin Herschel Babbage to investigate the village’s high early mortality rate.All but one of Patrick’s six children, including writers Emily and Anne Bronte, died by the age of 31. Charlotte, Emily and Anne left a legacy that is still preserved today as their family home has been transformed into the Bronte Parsonage museum, a popular tourist attraction. (Liana Jacob)

5. Jane Eyre Deluxe Hardbound EditionTake in the enthralling story of Jane Eyre, a strong and independent young lady whose path from governess to self-assured adulthood to orphan to kid is still as intriguing as it was when it was originally published in 1847. In this timeless story of love, mystery, and redemption, Bronte vividly evokes the moors of Yorkshire, the majestic halls of Thornfield Hall, and the mysterious figure of Mr. Rochester via her rich writing.

10 'Jane Eyre' (1997)Director: Robert YoungAlthough a TV movie, Robert Young's adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel of the same name surely deserves a spot on this list. Starring Morton as the young heroine, Jane Eyre follows an orphan who is sent by her aunt Reed to a charity school to be educated. When she becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, she falls for the enigmatic houseowner Mr Rochester (Ciarán Hinds). However, it all comes crashing down when she unearths a secret buried deep within the house.Morton proved to be a great actor in period drama roles in this 1997 film, which will sweep viewers off their feet with its dark, romantic storyline. As far as great classical literature adaptations go, Jane Eyre is very faithful to its source material and features one of Morton's most charming roles. Even though the 2011 film endures a superior take on the book, Young's film is undoubtedly worth checking, especially for fans of the genre. (Daniela Gama)
