Explore the Brontë Parsonage Museum in West Yorkshire, the former home of the Brontë sisters, where they created their famous novels.
A must-visit for any fan of the iconic Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Located in Haworth, against the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire moors, this historic house was the Brontë family home from 1820-61 and the birthplace of their world-renowned novels, including Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Maintained by the Brontë Society, the museum offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore the lives and works of these literary giants.
A gold mine of Brontëana
Explore the world's most significant collection of Brontë artefacts, including handwritten manuscripts, drafts of their famous novels, poems, and personal letters. The museum also houses everyday objects that belonged to the sisters, such as Charlotte's wedding bonnet, Emily's paintbox, and even pebbles collected by Anne.
See where the Brontës' wrote
The museum brings the Brontës' world to life through interactive displays including a recreation of the tiny room the sisters shared, where they penned their masterpieces on scraps of paper. The Parsonage also hosts talks and workshops that delve deeper into the Brontës' lives and literary techniques, offering visitors a richer understanding of their work.
A trip to the Brontë Parsonage Museum can be the centrepiece of a literary pilgrimage, with nearby walking tours taking visitors past the Brontës' church and school, and to the moors that inspired the dramatic landscapes of Wuthering Heights.
