Yorkshire Live reports that Love Exploring has named Haworth as the prettiest village in Yorkshire.
"Haworth, forever tied to the Brontë sisters, inspired seminal novels like Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The village’s cobbled streets preserve its 19th-century grace while its stone-built houses, often constructed from locally quarried gritstone, give the buildings their distinct earthy hue," writes Love Exploring, which placed Haworth at number five on its list of England's prettiest villages.
"The neighbouring South Pennine moors – central to Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights – feature wild moors, which in summer are painted purple and green by blooming heather and bilberry."
The Brontës are the world's most famous literary family and Haworth Parsonage was their home from 1820 to 1861. Charlotte, Emily and Anne were the authors of some of the best-loved books in the English language. The museum holds the world's largest collection of original Brontë items, including furniture, books, paintings and clothes.
Haworth's traffic-free high street is glorious, laid with setts and curling down the hill from the church to central park, with the moors rising behind the sandstone houses on the other side of the Worth Valley
There's surely no more romantic way to travel the moorland of Brontë Country than in a steam-drawn carriage. The railway has strong cultural links too — the beautiful Oakworth Station appeared in the 1970 children's classic The Railway Children.
Haworth is surrounded by the moors, making it a great place for walks, with trails leading through landscapes that inspired some of the greatest works in English literature. The most popular walk is to the Brontë Waterfall, easily reached from Penistone Hill country park. It is mainly flat with fantastic views of the moors.
Above Haworth, a little way up the Brontë Way from the waterfall, stands the desolate ruin of an old farmhouse. A plaque was placed here by the Brontë Society in 1964, musing that the moors here may have been in Emily Brontë's mind when she chose a location for Wuthering Heights.
Haworth is a hub of unique independent shops, from art to clothes, jewellery to fine gifts, fancy toiletries, books and homewares . Its main street is made up of immaculately kept old-fashioned shop fronts and welcoming shopkeepers. Visit Bradford
Haworth also has a great pub scene serving traditional Yorkshire ales. Some of the old pubs like the Black Bull are believed to be haunted by Branwell, the only brother of the Brontë sisters and a family black sheep. (Milo Boyd)

Dying for You” by Charli XCX
“Charli XCX knows pop music. As one of its hardest-working pioneers, she can alchemize a hook out of any emotion—a skill she wields to great effect on her companion album for Emerald Fennell’s cinematic adaptation of Wuthering Heights. On ‘Dying for You,’ she clearly understood her assignment, deploying frenzied strings and a bombastic chorus to capture the headlong rush of Cathy and Heathcliff’s onscreen relationship. It also wouldn’t sound out of place on The CW’s Gossip Girl, which makes it a perfect soundtrack song.”—Daniel Taroy, director, social and video
Ara features the last episode of the podcast Punkis Decimonòniques, which was, like the first, about Agnes Grey.
The origin of it all is a question: "You, who are so feminist, how is it that you like Jane Austen or the Brontës?" they told her. "Precisely because of that!" Pujals replies. "There was a need to explain that behind the image of teacups there is a lot of feminist activism". "We have talked about economics, class struggle, the position of women, very serious things and with rigor, but adapted to the millennial and Z generations," adds Freixenet. After all, "Jane Austen invented the "ghosting" and Anne Brontë warned of the red flags of toxic masculinity, as we learned on Wednesday, who cited Rosalía and the Starks.
The last chapter is an hour and a half of juice about the life and work of the youngest of the Brontë sisters and her "moralistic and raw" Agnes Grey. For Pujals, it is "a great guide to navigating your thirties; there are phrases that seem to be taken from Substack, and as a good millennial, she clearly has imposter syndrome." Despite the literary quality of the work, however, she is not the most popular author. It turns out that it was the elder sister, Charlotte ("Jane Eyre), the last of the Brontës to die, who blurred Anne's image as simply "pious and bland" and curbed the dissemination of her work, especially that inspired by her alcoholic brother. "She was the sister with more class consciousness, the most radical," they argue. And that is why she is chosen to close the podcast, which ended with the same phrase as Agnes Grey": "I feel like I've talked enough." (Laura Serra)
That last quote is a direct translation from the Spanish ttranslation. Anne's actual words were 'And now I think I have said sufficient'.
