Wander around West Yorkshire like the Brontës

In England's Yorkshire and Humber region, West Yorkshire serves as both a ceremonial and metropolitan county. It is an upland, inland county that includes the moors of the Pennines and has valleys that drain to the east. Once the Local Government Act of 1972 was revised and a significant portion of the West Riding of Yorkshire was constituted, West Yorkshire was created as a metropolitan county in 1974.

Read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, or at the very least, sing along to Kate Bush's musical adaptation. Explore the vicarage Emily, Charlotte, Anne, and their family called home in Haworth, a charming West Yorkshire village. The dilapidated structure has been transformed into a museum that showcases their life.

The county still has remnants of its once-powerful coal, wool, and iron ore industries, which attracted people over the years as evidenced by the architecture and structures. The M1, M621, M606, A1(M), and M62 motorways as well as several railways pass through the county. Visit the cobblestoned alleyways, tea rooms, and vintage railway station after that, and then embark on one of the hiking routes to see waterfalls, rocky moorland, and abandoned farmhouses like Top Withins, which is thought to have served as the inspiration for Emily's gothic novel. Boots for hiking are suggested.
