Journey back to the 19th-century world of the Brontë sisters on an entirely car-free pilgrimage through the gritstone village of Haworth. Ascend the steep, cobbled Main Street through atmospheric curio shops and Patrick Brontë’s parish church, step inside the Georgian Parsonage where classic masterpieces were penned, and strike out across the heather-clad Pennine moors to the secluded Brontë Waterfall before fireside ales in historic coaching taverns.
