The Haworth Circular
Moorland on the Haworth Circular
Think of the name Brontë and it conjures up images of wild, wintery countryside beaten by whirling winds. So what better time of year to explore Haworth than in winter? The area is now known as Brontë Country as it inspired much of the family’s work, and you can see some of its biggest landmarks on this 7.5-mile route.
Start at St Michael & All Angels Church and pick up The Brontë Way, which leads you through Penistone Hill Country Park. Along the way, you’ll pass flowing becks and crisp moorland on your way to the Brontë Waterfall.
Once you’ve taken in the sights, walk across to Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse which acted as inspiration for Wuthering Heights, and over to Lower Laithe Reservoir on the path back into Haworth. Take the chance to pop into the Haworth Steam Brewing Co. bar before you leave the village.
Start point: St Michael & All Angels Church – find it on Google Maps.
Distance: 7.5 miles. (Joseph Sheerin)

BBC answers the question of "why is Bradford on Conde Nast's seven wonders list":
Ilkley Moor is known for it's famous folk song, On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at, and Haworth's Penistone Hill was an inspiration for the bleak setting of many Brontë novels. (...)
Brontë birthplace Haworth may be celebrating it's new title as a seven wonder but Machu Picchu - it's twin town - has had the accolade for decades. (Grace Wood)
The story of the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire is discussed, once again, in
The Northern Echo:
In 1970, the pub was transformed into a moody backdrop for a film adaptation of Jane Eyre, starring George C. Scott and Susannah York.
Unearthed photographs by former Northern Echo photographer Ian Wright reveal how the crew braved the wind-swept moors to capture the Brontë atmosphere. (Patrick Gouldsbrough)
Quiero empezar con dos afirmaciones que pueden parecer opuestas, pero no lo son: este libro no me gustó y, al mismo tiempo, es buenísimo. Entiendo perfectamente por qué Cumbres borrascosas es un clásico consagrado; sin embargo, no disfruté de su lectura hasta los capítulos finales. (....)
Cumbres borrascosas no está hecha para el disfrute inmediato, sino para incomodarnos, agotarnos y obligarnos a mirar de frente lo peor del ser humano.
(Carlota Mascareñas García) (Translation)
Of course, we still have websites announcing Wuthering Heights or discussing its controversies: People, Desde Entre Ríos, FandomWire, Netflix Junkie, Dawn, CBR, Echo Live, CNN Chile, Informador, Flair, Marie Claire, Movieplayer, Cinefilos, The Columbian ... On the other hand, Express insists that "the superior version" Jane Eyre 2006 is free to stream on BBC iPlayer
