Haworth and Keighley, Yorkshire

Haworth is a small village in West Yorkshire, known largely for its association with the Brontës.

Haworth is conveniently the site of one of the stations and an easy 15 minutes or so walk from Main Street where I was staying, though it is quite a steep walk downwards.
