Main Street in the charming village of Haworth was highlighted by The Telegraph alongside the likes of Steep Hill in Lincoln.

The publisher explained: “From the cobbled, quaint and quirky to the elegant, sweeping and grand, from the history-drenched to the Instagram-primped, the UK has many good-looking thoroughfares.

“Having considered alleys, avenues, crescents, cut-throughs, side roads, back streets and boulevards across the country, we’ve come up with 20 of the prettiest.”

To curate the list, The Telegraph said it focused on streets “with something or many things of public interest” such as a wonky pub, a haunted hotel, a “cracking” café or independent boutique shops.

Take a look at all of Britain’s prettiest streets online in this article.

Why is Haworth’s Main Street among the UK’s prettiest?

The publisher shared that “it’s impossible to disassociate this Pennines-tucked village from its most famous family, the Brontës”.

However, back when the sisters lived here during the mid-19th century, Haworth “wasn’t nearly so charming” as it is now, according to reports.

From cafés to pubs and all the hidden gems in between, this historical street in Haworth has a lot to offer.

The Telegraph commented: “Cleaned up now, its cobbled Main Street is a delightful rise of millstone grit cottages, where you’ll find many a Brontë-themed business – Wuthering Arts gallery, the Writer’s Bloc café – and the 16th-century Black Bull Inn, where Branwell was a regular; the Brontë Parsonage (now a museum) is on neighbouring Church Street.”

Just some of the other standout businesses that reside on Main Street include:

  • Mrs Beightons Sweet Shop
  • The Cabinet of Curiosities
  • Wave of Nostalgia
  • Hawksbys
  • And Chocolate
  • Hunters of Haworth
  • Modo Creative

Also along the pretty street, you can find Haworth Old Post Office which was recently revealed as the “cosiest place to eat”.

The café has a remarkable link with history in the village, as it still has the original post office counter where the iconic Brontë sisters would send their novel manuscripts to their publishers back in the day.

In an Instagram video, The Yorkshireman, who is a popular local travel and food expert, shared: “Expect tonnes of cosy dishes on the menu, reflecting the season – from warming camembert to comforting burgers, alongside an array of small plates and mains, all designed to satisfy those food cravings with hearty flavours and local ingredients.

“Flavour was truly at the heart of everything, from the garlic sourdough and chutney with the camembert, to the inventive burger taking on different themes.

“Everything is just a little bit special, from seasonal hot chocolates and cocktails to the iced drinks and autumnal coffees, which of course change all the time, so there’s something new to try each visit.

“It’s a beautiful lease of life for the old post office and a must-visit next time you’re in Haworth.”

Elsewhere, Haworth was also named as one of the UK’s best places to visit this winter by Time Out as it has “something undeniably wintery about it – its proximity to the Moors which inspired Wuthering Heights, perhaps.”

Travel writer Liv Kelly wrote: “Leeds was an amazing place to be a student, don’t get me wrong, but when we needed a cheeky hit of wholesome and a Sunday away from the city, my friends and I would pile into someone’s hatchback (for just an hour’s drive) and head to Haworth for the afternoon.

“It’s beautiful there, and with the handful of pubs adorned year-round with little lights, shops selling hand-decorated chocolates and a whole space full of antique clocks, it was a much needed breath of fresh Yorkshire air away from the student metropolis.”
