The beautiful village that has been frozen in time, with tourists saying it’s like stepping into another era
Haworth has remained untouched by time as visitors claim it’s “like stepping into another era”. This charming village sits tucked away in the stunning Yorkshire countryside, formerly the residence of the renowned Brontë sisters, with the nearby moor inspiring Wuthering Heights.
The siblings’ old family residence has been transformed into a museum, drawing literary enthusiasts from far and wide. The village has certainly earned its reputation, with independent bookstore Wave of Nostalgia being crowned the finest in all of northern England by The Bookseller.
Boasting its cobbled Main Street, famous parsonage and sweeping moorland, this Airedale settlement retains numerous historical features that remain completely preserved, reports the Express.
Positioned adjacent to the Yorkshire Dales, it enjoys spectacular rural landscapes and undulating hillsides.
Visitors to the museum can glimpse a precious miniature manuscript penned by Charlotte Brontë, which dates back to December 1829.
Leeds lies just a brief journey away, providing a completely contrasting atmosphere to the tranquil village whilst delivering abundant retail and dining opportunities.
The ancient city of York also sits nearby, displaying its famous cobblestone lanes and classic English design.
Though Haworth itself remains compact, the settlement boasts a legendary Main Street lined with numerous independent retailers and coffee houses.
Mrs Beighton’s Sweet Shop is reportedly essential viewing, stocking more than 500 classic British confections to sample.
Haworth Wholefoods provides an unusual grocery experience for weekly shopping, featuring regional produce and organic fare. H and L Fashions, a quaint boutique specialising in French and Italian designs, caters to both men and women, keeping the vintage theme alive.
The Cabinet of Curiosities offers a museum-like shopping experience, with its rich mahogany interior and glass globes transporting customers back in time.
For those keen on exploring Yorkshire, Haworth provides self-catering accommodation options, as well as cosy B&Bs.
