Haworth: The Brontë Parsonage and Top Withens
275 XP
The Brontës moved to the parsonage at Haworth in 1820, and it is now the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Across the moor above the village, the ruined farmhouse of Top Withens has long been linked with Wuthering Heights: the house itself was nothing like the one in the novel, but its moorland setting may have been in Emily's mind. All four of the Brontë children who became writers were born before the move, in Thornton, and the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway still runs steam up to Haworth.
