The life and times of the Brontës has inspired a new guide which takes fans on a tour of the region that influenced their lives and novels.

It reveals how their lives unfolded not just in Haworth but across the region.

The new 28-page guide, produced by Pennine Yorkshire, brings together for the first time the places and buildings where Charlotte, Emily and Anne spent time and found inspiration.

Visitors following the Brontës in Pennine Yorkshire Experience can visit well known destinations in Haworth — from the Parsonage Museum to the Black Bull pub, brother Branwell’s watering hole.

Then it’s across Bradford and Kirklees to their parents’ home in Thornton, their birthplace and the churches where their father worked.

The guide also encompasses some of the many grand houses that the Brontës spent time in These include Oakwell Hall, at Birstall, which inspired Charlotte’s description of Fieldhead in Shirley; Red House, the home of Charlotte’s lifelong friend Mary Taylor, and Ponden Hall, at Stanbury, generally thought to be the house Emily Brontë called Thrushcross Grange, home of the Linton family in Wuthering Heights.

The Brontës in Pennine Yorkshire Experience brochure can be obtained by visiting pennineyorkshire.com or hard copies are available from all tourist information centres throughout the region.
