Hello! recommends '11 must-visit UK filming locations from your favourite period dramas' including
Penistone Hill, West Yorkshire Moors, West Yorkshire
The wild, windswept moors of West Yorkshire provide the perfect atmospheric setting for Wuthering Heights, capturing the haunting and rugged landscape that inspired Emily Brontë’s classic novel. These moors have featured in the 2011 film adaptation, starring Kayla Scodelario and James Howson, and will appear in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming reimagined version with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. While the moors themselves are evidently sprawling, nearby Haworth village is a great place to base yourself, where you can visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the former home of the Brontë family, before heading up to Penistone Hill, a site that’s also home to the “Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever”, an annual celebration that marks the shared birthdays of Emily Brontë and Kate Bush.

The Guardian reviews the exhibition
Postures: Jean Rhys in the Modern World at Michael Werner Gallery, London.
Dominica was Rhys’s early home, and the inspiration for her most important (and final) novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, a prequel to Jane Eyre that gave voice to the Creole “madwoman in the attic” of Charlotte Brontë’s novel. Celia Paul’s wide-eyed, manic portrait of Brontë stares wildly out of a tiny canvas, Gwen John’s gorgeous, ghostly painting of a girl in a shawl stares back. Als is combining directly related work with images that invoke a wider sense of Rhys and her world, and it’s totally transportive – it immerses you in Rhys’s humid, alienating universe. [...]
Do you have to have read Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre to get it? Well, I definitely haven’t (with apologies to my high school English teacher) but the show’s themes are deep enough to keep you hooked, and leave you bathing in the cold, shark-filled waters of Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.
