Bronte Country and Bronte Parsonage museum

Just a short drive from Bradford to the Pennine moors and you enter Bronte Country. The dramatic moorland inspired the Bronte Sisters to pen novels which are classics of English literature. At the heart of Bronte Country is Haworth. Its rugged main street has a host of specialist shops, including antique books, paintings & tearooms. Imagine the everyday lives of the Bronte Sisters as you walk round Haworth Church and the Bronte Parsonage Museum.

The Bronte’s were an intensely close-knit family and their parsonage home formed the heart of their world from early childhood until the ends of their brief lives. The Parsonage was built in 1778-9 and was home to the literary sisters from 1820 to 1861. It was opened as a museum in 1928. It was here that Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre, Emily created Wuthering Heights and Anne penned The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Today the museum contains a vast array of Bronte artefacts, including several of their original possessions. 

The Parsonage also has a varied exhibition programme as well as regular events.
