Where The Railway Children, Yanks - with Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave - and Pink Floyd's The Wall were filmed on the steam railway.
Where our terraced weaver's cottage near cobbled Main Street will provide a warm welcome - and a great base for exploring the heather clad Pennines and Yorkshire Dales.
The area
Haworth rests in the Worth Valley on the edge of Haworth Moor and Penistone Hill,
three miles south of Keighley in West Yorkshire.
Thanks largely to the Brontë sisters, people visit from all over the world. They are
drawn to the area with its atmosphere of bleak desolation and history, graphically captured in Brontë literature.
Several public footpaths lead ramblers away from the village to windswept moors and steep valleys.
Charlotte wrote of her sister Emily's love of the moors : "She found in the bleak solitude many delights,
and not the least and best loved was liberty".
Perhaps the most popular path leads from the valley to Top Withens, the ruin considered by many the setting for
Heathcliff's farmstead in Emily's Wuthering Heights.
For walking enthusiasts, the 40-mile Brontë Way is more of a challenge.
Haworth is also the ideal resting place along the 250-mile Pennine Way from Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders.
The Village
Loubie Cottage is just 250m from Main Street, where visitors and "Brontë Pilgrims" tread
the steep cobbled street to the Brontë Parsonage Museum. www.bronte.info
It was here where Rev Patrick Brontë was vicar from 1820 until his death in 1861 and where
his three daughters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote their best-loved novels.
The Parish Church, excellent restaurants, friendly tea houses, shops, antiquarian bookshops
and historic inns are all worth a visit.
Steam railway enthusiasts - and parents looking to entertain their children - visit the
Keighley (pronounced Keeth-li) and Worth Valley Railway. www.kwvr.co.uk
The scenic 5-mile line is a ride back in time, capturing the atmosphere of the 1940s and 50s.
Besides The Railway Children and Yanks, many period films and TV series have used the line,
including Poirot, A Touch of Frost and Sherlock Holmes.
