Brontë Way - Haworth
Haworth, our base for the Brontë Way, is a former mill town, made famous as the home of the Brontë sisters. Their father, Patrick Brontë, was the rector of Haworth and the family lived in the handsome parsonage which now houses the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
Haworth has a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants offering food in the evenings.
The daily meeting point in Haworth is outside the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
