The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth is experiencing a surge in visitors, with around 500 people a day passing through after the release of Emerald Fennell's film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Among the museum's displays is a mourning bracelet worn by Charlotte Brontë, woven with the hair of her sisters Emily and Anne, which inspired a replica worn by Margot Robbie at the film's premiere.
Visitors can explore the wild, heather-clad Haworth Moor, where the Brontës roamed with their dog Grasper. Key landmarks include the Brontë Falls, Brontë Bridge, and the ruined farmhouse Top Withens, believed to have inspired the setting of Wuthering Heights. Penistone Country Park offers sodden bridleways leading to these sites.
Accommodation options like Steam View Cottage provide a cosy base, with claw-foot baths and Brontë books for guests. The nearby village of Haworth features steep cobbled Main Street, with shops and inns that nod to the Brontës, such as the Black Bull inn where Branwell Brontë's chair is displayed. The Brontë Writing Centre and Wave of Nostalgia bookshop offer literary activities.
The parsonage, now open six days a week, houses the largest collection of Brontë artefacts. Next door is the old school room built by Patrick Brontë. The Old Post Office, where the sisters sent manuscripts under pen names, now serves as a café. St Michael's and All Angels' church contains the Brontë family vault. Nearby East Riddlesden Hall, a gothic 17th-century manor, evokes the atmosphere of Wuthering Heights.
