\n With a rich history and beautiful landscapes, the village of Haworth, around an hour from the borough,\u00a0offers plenty for\u00a0families during the summer holidays.\n<\/p>\n
\n Haworth is most well known as the home of the Bront\u00eb\u00a0sisters,\u00a0who wrote the likes of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, as well as being talented artists and musicians.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The sisters lived at the top of the hill, which Haworth’s main street runs up, and the house remains there today as the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum and has been preserved to remain accurate to how it was when they lived in it.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n For adults, it will cost just \u00a313, those aged 65 and over just \u00a311, concessions are \u00a38, and teenagers (12-16) are \u00a36.50.\n<\/p>\n
\n Children aged 11 years and under gain free entry as part of a family.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n After visiting the museum, the main street through the village has a range of shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants on offer to spend time in.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n The King’s Arms pub serves up a tasty menu for reasonable prices, with freshly made pies, burgers, and roast dinners on offer.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n After tucking into a good meal, the unique shops lining the streets are a must-see.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The Cabinet of Curiosities is a particular gem, with winding walkways and hidden alcove backrooms to explore.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n The shop sells vintage-style health and beauty products like soap and perfume, as well as crafted candles and ornaments.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n A highlight of their stock is the interactive classic books, such as Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Mrs Beighton’s Sweet Shop is also a must-visit, with traditional goodies on the shelves of the winding shop, including liquorice comfits, pear drops, lemon sherbets, and other old-time treats.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n Owing to the village’s rich literary history, the independent bookshop Wave of Nostalgia sells hundreds of books at reasonable prices, including special editions for as little as \u00a316, as well as accessories such as pin badges and bookmarks.\n<\/p>\n
\n For the history lovers, there is also St Michael and\u00a0All Angels Church, which dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The church is intertwined with the history of the Bront\u00ebs, as their father, Patrick, was the vicar there for 41 years from 1820.\n<\/p>\n

\n All of the family, except Emily Bront\u00eb, are interred at the church in the family tomb.\n<\/p>\n
\n For those after a sweet treat after soaking up all that culture, another shop on Main Street is\u00a0And Chocolate, which sells artisan chocolates and truffles.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The shop offers a pick and mix option, where customers can build their own gift box.\n<\/p>\n

\n There are plenty more cafes, restaurants, and pubs along the cobbled Main Street, as well as charity shops and vintage clothing stores.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n There are also a few bakeries selling the likes of Yorkshire Parkin and other traditional bakes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Visitors can also get their hands on some Jellycats in Haworth, with LobyLous ice cream parlour\u00a0being a stockist of the fluffy teddies as well as Frederick’s ice cream.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The village has also featured in several popular films and TV shows, including Peaky Blinders, Wild Child, North and South, Official Secrets,\u00a0and The Railway Children.\n<\/p>\n
\n Of course, it has served as a filming location for several adaptations of the Bront\u00eb’s books over the years, also.\n<\/p>\n
