"Welcome to Brontë Country"
Overview
Most tourists visit Haworth for the Brontë Sisters. Now a museum, The Parsonage, where they lived, is further up the cobbled hill from the cosy guest rooms of The Fleece Inn. Some visitors, however, head downhill for the station and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, which featured in the 1970 film, The Railway Children.

About the area
Everybody knows that Yorkshire has some special landscapes. The Dales and the Moors first spring to mind, but what about West Yorkshire? That’s Leeds and Bradford isn’t it? Back-to-back houses and blackened mills… Certainly if you had stood on any of the hills surrounding Hebden Bridge a hundred years ago, and gazed down into the valley, all you would have seen was the pall of smoke issuing from the chimneys of 33 textile mills.
