A charming gothic British village, brimming with independent shops and a cosy atmosphere, is 'well worth a visit'. This 'mysterious' spot was once home to the Brontë sisters, including Emily, the author of the classic novel Wuthering Heights.

Emily, Charlotte and Anne Brontë are among Britain's most revered literary siblings. As the new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights premieres in UK cinemas tonight (February 13), the village of Haworth in West Yorkshire makes for an ideal weekend getaway.

With its unique brooding character, Haworth overlooks the moors where the new film was shot, transporting visitors back in time with its cobbled streets and historic alleyways. Some of these cobbled lanes even lead to an ancient church and cemetery where novelists Emily and Charlotte Brontë are laid to rest.

Anne Brontë, the youngest sibling, is also buried at St Michael & All Angels Church cemetery in Haworth. The three sisters wrote seven novels here, including Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

The village's main street boasts 'absolutely wonderful' establishments, including shops with a mystical witchy vibe, a 'heavenly' sweet shop, and numerous unique gift and book stores to explore, reports the Express.

Food and shopping

The 'magical' establishments dotted throughout Haworth offer a gothic atmosphere, whilst the village is surrounded by stunning moorland and countryside, near to where the latest Wuthering Heights film was shot.

Spooks of Haworth functions as a 'spiritual emporium' in the village, selling crystals and gifts whilst offering tarot card readings. It first opened its doors in 1983 in Haworth, the heart of Brontë Country.

One visitor described the establishment as 'magical, mysterious, and totally wonderful' located in a 'beautiful gothic village, well worth a visit'.

Another 'fabulous little shop' is The Cabinet Of Curiosities in the village, which one recent guest called a 'little piece of heaven', reviewing this treasure trove as 'so interesting'.

"Every detail in the shop was very well presented, down to wrapping. It was like an adult sweet shop, of smelly stuff and other treasures", they wrote.

The Haworth Artisan Market also features prominently amongst the village's attractions on TripAdvisor. Despite only running one Sunday each month, it draws significant numbers of visitors and residents.

To capture the Wuthering Heights atmosphere, there are several must-see locations in the area:

Haworth Moors

Exploring the Haworth Moors, the setting for Wuthering Heights, can be done on foot or alternatively, aboard the historic Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. This heritage railway offers a journey on vintage steam locomotives.

One can even indulge in afternoon tea on board, as one reviewer who embarked on this rail journey three months ago with an all-day rover ticket attested. They described it as a 'very enjoyable day and highly recommended'.

The same reviewer of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway shared: "Just had the traditional afternoon tea experience, absolutely blown away. Fantastic food, excellent service, in short a really brilliant day, when I felt I got full value for my money.

"There is a nice selection of sandwiches, meringues/ macaroons and large scones with cream and jam."

Holdsworth House - an ideal place to stay

This stunning four-star hotel is a "Jacobean manor built in 1633, set just outside Halifax in West Yorkshire".

Situated a mere 20-minute drive from Haworth, the Holdsworth House website describes it as a "historic, quietly grand house" that provides a "calm, atmospheric base for visiting the Brontë Parsonage, Haworth itself and the wider landscape of Brontë country that shaped Wuthering Heights".

Low Row, Richmondshire

Stone-built houses and sweeping countryside vistas served as the backdrop for the new film. The area is surrounded by countryside, offering the ideal setting for ramblers seeking a scenic route through the Dales, with the cosy Punch Bowl Inn waiting at the end - where you can savour a pint or a cup of Yorkshire Tea.

Top Withens, West Yorkshire

Devotees of the novel and films will want to include this location on their route, as the derelict farmhouse is believed to have inspired Wuthering Heights. Beginning from St Michael's Church in Haworth, this walk leads you through Penistone Hill Country Park before reaching the Brontë waterfall and bridge - an ideal spot for photographs.

Swaledale

As one of the principal dales featured on screen, Swaledale's limestone valley, stone barns and open moorland serve as the setting for numerous key exterior scenes. Today, it's a sanctuary for slow travellers, providing tranquil riverside walks, historic mining remnants and picture-postcard villages such as Reeth (which acted as a production base and is anticipated to appear in or around multiple scenes).

Arkengarthdale

Also identified as a significant filming location, Arkengarthdale delivers rugged valley vistas and remote moorland backdrops that feature in various exterior sequences. Its quiet lanes, high moors and sense of remoteness make it perfect for visitors wanting to experience the raw, windswept landscapes that characterise Wuthering Heights.

Brontë Parsonage Museum Furthermore, on the edge of the countryside leading towards the moorland lies the Brontë Parsonage Museum - an absolute must for enthusiasts of the Brontë sisters' literature, as this was the family home throughout the 1800s.

According to the museum's website: "We have the largest collection of Brontë items in the world, offering fascinating insight into the life and times of Yorkshire's famous literary family."

Yorkshire's historic towns

Byway's has also developed a Historic Towns in Yorkshire trip, making it straightforward for visitors to discover these landscapes for themselves, journeying by rail through cities and market towns such as York and Skipton, with connections to the Yorkshire Dales and the broader Brontë Country.

Built around picturesque train routes and leisurely travel, the four-day programme offers a convenient entry point for devotees eager to discover the moors and locations associated with Wuthering Heights. Prices begin at £468 per person for an unforgettable four-day adventure.
