Haworth’s Victorian England

The architectural style is one of the great legacies left by the Victorian era and in Haworth we can find that essence in every corner, square and old building.

In addition, the footprint of one of the most important literary author families in England and the whole world is marked in the structure of this town. They are the Brontës, who lived in this small town and whose literary successes are consolidated with the passage of time.

The Brontë sisters gave free rein to their creativity and literary quality in this place. Wuthering Heights was born from the pen of Emily Brontë  and from that of her sister Charlotte Jane Eyre, among many other works.

Practically everything in the town revolves around this family: where they lived, where they studied, where they currently rest . In addition to being a place of extraordinary natural and architectural beauty, the fact of being the home of the renowned Brontë family gives it an air of a very special novel that is difficult to find in other towns and cities.

The beautiful village of Haworth

Main Street

One of the most visited places by tourists is the well-known main street of Haworth. It is a beautiful old steep street that leads from the lower part of town to the top. There we can find the beautiful church of the village, as well as the museum dedicated to the Brontë family and other interesting places such as the post office or the Apothecary Guesthouse hotel.

Walking this typical cobbled street is a real pleasure, especially for those with a passion for history . It is a place full of details that makes us feel as if we lived in the Victorian era. Throughout the tour you will be able to delight yourself with the old houses that function as small hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops. Without a doubt, it is one of the most welcoming places that you definitely cannot miss.

The Brontë family museum

As we mentioned before, practically everything in the town revolves around this family. It is for that reason that if you visit Haworth you cannot miss the museum that is dedicated to her.

The “Brontë Parsonage Museum” is located in the upper part of the town of Haworth and is actually the original house where the family lived, which makes it an even more interesting walk. Here you can see original furniture, works and personal objects that the Brontë sisters accumulated in their short lives, as they died prematurely from tuberculosis.

The cemetery

Next to the church in the upper part of Haworth village is the cemetery, which has become one of the main tourist attractions of the place, especially since the members of the Brontë family rest there. In addition to this, the place seems like an oasis of peace that is well worth visiting, especially to observe the impressions of the tombstones, whose finishes are really beautiful.

Haworth Station

Haworth Train Station is one of those places that preserves its old-time essence intact. Both the station and the appearance of the trains are a vivid reflection of the 19th century, which is why it is one of the most beautiful and special places in town.

Wuthering Heights

Then you must climb to the top and overcome a series of obstacles to reach an old country house that today is in ruins. Although it is not certain that this place was actually Emily’s inspiration, it is well worth visiting and being amazed by the extraordinary natural beauty of the place.

Haworth is one of those corners that make you feel the beauty and romance of other times.
