HITTING THE HEIGHTS IN BRONTE COUNTRY
Monday 19th November 2007
The Brontë Way is a 43-mile-long footpath following locations in the lives of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, and their classic novels. The trail covers the Brontë birthplace at Thornton and, of course, the parsonage at Haworth where their father, the Reverend Patrick Brontë, moved with his wife and six children in 1820.

Haworth is a village high up in the Pennines. At the time the Brontës arrived, it was an unhealthy place, with a polluted water supply and no sewers, leading to a high mortality rate. Nearly half of all babies died before the age of six.
