- Brontë Way. Committed Brontë fans could walk this waymarked 43-mile trail through Brontë Country and the moorland that inspired them. The route begins not far from Haworth at Oakwell Hall (appears as Fieldhead in Charlotte Brontë’s novel, Shirley) in Kirklees, and has been drawn up to take in as many Brontë point of interest as possible on its meandering course across the moors to Padiham outside Burnley.
- Brontë Waterfall. Just shy of three miles from Haworth there’s a picturesque waterfall in a small rocky dale, best visited after a spell of heavy rain when, as Charlotte Brontë described in 1854, there’s a “…perfect torrent racing over the rocks.”
- St Michael and All Angels’ Church. Beside the Parsonage, the church where Patrick Brontë was minister for 41 years up to 1861 was rebuilt at the turn of the 1880s.
