Haworth

Haworth and Keighley, Yorkshire

Haworth is a small village in West Yorkshire, known largely for its association with the Brontës. To get there from Nottingham I got a train to Leeds, changed to a train to Keighley (pronounced Keith-lee) and walked from Keighley Railway Station to the bus station (about 10 minutes) and got on a bus from there to Haworth. There are about three buses an hour literally named Brontë Bus 1, 2 and 3 and a single costs £2.50 which you can buy on the bus via contactless. The routes vary by where in Haworth you want to be dropped off but you can check which bus will be best for you on the bus company website.

Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, Yorkshire

As I’ve mentioned previously my dad is a big train enthusiast and in fact this is one of the few steam railways that he’s never travelled on so I knew I would have to be taking a lot of photos to show him in particular.

St Michael and All Angel’s Church, Haworth

After my visit to the Brontë Parsonage I headed next door to St Michael and All Angels, more commonly known as the Brontë church. This is the third church building on the site dating between 1879 and 1881; parts of the older church survives but not as it would have been during the Brontë’s time when their father was the parish priest here.

The Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth

Back in June I spent just under a week in Haworth in West Yorkshire because visiting the Brontë Parsonage Museum has been on my bucket list for a great many years. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is one of my favourite novels and I wanted to follow in the footsteps of her and her siblings.
