HIT THE HEIGHTS

WITH EMERALD FENNELL'S WUTHERING HEIGHTS IN CINEMAS NOW, SOPHIE GOODALL VISITS A ROMANTIC AIRBNB 'SETCATION', LOCATED IN WILD WEST YORKSHIRE

- 

Nearby is the wild and untamed 'Bronte Country', a moorland region situated in the topmost corner of West Yorkshire. At its heart is the village of Haworth, where the

Bronte sisters, Emily, Charlotte and Anne, were born and raised, surrounded by desolate countryside. Local Haworth Moor is thought to be the backdrop for Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, so I, along with my husband Ryan, decide to seek out the sights referenced in the novel and embark on the 4.5-mile Bronte Connection Walk.

A stroll through the country side seems like the perfect romantic outing, yet while the trail is not the most physically challenging, it’s still one to prepare for Haworth Moor’s altitude and exposed landscape puts walkers at the mercy of the southern Pennines’ changeable weather.
