The small village has been described as the perfect place to spend an autumn day out and it’s easy to see why it’s caught the eye of social media users
Autumn often gets a bad rap, with its shorter days and gloomier weather following the joys of summer. However, if you know where to look, the season can be truly magical.
Embracing the delights of autumn is easy when you visit the right places. Cosy cafes, vibrant orange pumpkins, and crisp walks are just some of the ways to ward off the autumn blues.
One location that perfectly embodies the spirit of autumn is Haworth, a quaint village in West Yorkshire. It’s quickly becoming a must-visit spot for an autumnal day trip.
The village has caught the attention of TikTok users, who’ve dubbed it the ideal place to “spend a cosy autumnal day”. One user even likened it to Stars Hollow, the fictional town in the popular TV series Gilmore Girls, which is often associated with autumn.
TikTok user @amyloves. xo praised Haworth as “a perfect autumnal day out in October” in her video, which has garnered 108,000 views and over 5,000 likes, reports the Manchester Evening News.
She showcased the village’s autumnal charm with clips of abundant pumpkins, wreaths made from autumn leaves, and picturesque book shops. One viewer commented on the video, calling it “The UK’s Stars Hollow”, referencing the town in Gilmore Girls.
Haworth has been spotlighted in @Yorkshirefi’s “autumn bucket list for Yorkshire” video, where she suggests popping into The Cabinet of Curiosities for its enchanting “witchy vibes” and enjoying an “autumnal walk in the Bronte countryside at Haworth”. She also uploaded a video celebrating a “cosy autumn day in Haworth” as an idyllic spot for bibliophiles.
Haworth’s picturesque cobblestone streets, framed by panoramic views of the Yorkshire countryside peeping through the village architecture, have been catching the attention of netizens. A wander along the high street of Haworth reveals an eclectic mix of independent boutiques such as The Cabinet of Curiosities.
This family-owned establishment, nestled in a former Victorian chemist store brimming with authentic details, offers artisanal soaps and candles.
As Halloween beckons, Spooks of Haworth emerges as a destination perfect for the season, a niche bookshop aligned with “psychic phenomena supplies” and it even provides Tarot card sessions. Alternatively, browse the retro attire available at The Souk.
For those inclined to cosy up with a literary classic during these autumnal months, the Bronte Parsonage Museum is unmissable. As the ancestral abode of the famed Bronte siblings, visitors can immerse themselves in the narratives of the authors’ lives at the museum, home to an extensive array of their furniture, garb, and intimate possessions.
Add a touch of literature to your autumn stroll and make your way to Top Withens, a dilapidated farmhouse close to Haworth, believed to be the inspiration for the Wuthering Heights house. Situated on the Pennine Way, it’s a demanding trek four miles from the village, but the stunning views make it well worth the effort.
