The Bronte Way starts at Birstall, West Yorkshire, near Kirklees, Bradford and finishes at Padiham, Lancashire.
The route has been designed to have strong associations with the writings of the Bronte family, encorporating places where their work was centred such as Wuthering Heights, Haworth where the Haworth Parsonage is now a Bronte museum and also encompasses interesting geographical and landscape highlights from the region such as Penistone Hill Country Park and plenty of upland and moorland walking so that even if the novels have passed you by the route keeps your interest and is of value in its own right.
There is plenty to explore on and near the route from country pubs to industrial heritage and public transport links in to the route and its four main sections.
Two guidebooks are available.
