About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring the Yorkshire moorlands and literary landmarks that shaped the Brontë sisters' imagination. This private tour guides you through Haworth's narrow streets—largely preserved as they were in the 1800s—to the Parsonage Museum where Charlotte, Emily and Anne lived and wrote. You'll also visit the atmospheric ruins of Wycoller Hall, which inspired the remote manor in Jane Eyre. A dedicated guide and driver ensure you move comfortably between sites whilst learning the interconnected stories of these remarkable women and their windswept landscape.

What to expect
Your guide collects you and drives into the Pennine hills, pointing out the landscape that dominates Brontë novels. At Haworth, you'll walk the steep cobbled high street on foot—manageable for most fitness levels—before entering the Parsonage, where you can see the sisters' desks, letters and personal objects. The museum layout mirrors the family's daily geography. Afterwards, the group travels to Wycoller Hall, a roofless country house whose crumbling stone and overgrown grounds feel appropriately Gothic. Your guide contextualises each location with biographical and literary detail throughout the day.
Good to know
Bring waterproof layers; moorland weather changes quickly. Haworth's high street is steep but the Parsonage itself is accessible. Meals and refreshments aren't included—eat before departure or pack snacks. Service animals welcome. All passengers, including children, require individual seats.
