Bronte Ways

We then journey up to Top Withens to experience the landscape and atmosphere which inspired
"Wuthering Heights" before passing Ponden Hall and crossing the Pennines to the beautiful village
of Wycoller featured in "Jane Eyre". We venture deeper into Lancashire under the watchful eye
of Pendle Hill, home to the notorious Pendle Witches.

The film ends in the splendid surroundings of Gawthorpe Hall, the former home of the Kay-Shuttleworth
family who Charlotte visited on several occasions.

The Brontë Way is a trail of about 43 miles stretching from Birstall near Leeds in West Yorkshire, traversing the Pennines to Gawthorpe Hall at Padiham in Lancashire. 'Brontë Ways' takes us along this walk and visits the many places associated with the lives and literary works of the Brontë family. Part One of the "Brontë Ways" traced the family's life from Thornton to Haworth, looking at the various sites connected to the "Shirley" story.

Part Two begins with a more thorough look at Haworth exploring the many places involved in the lives of the Brontës, such as the Black Bull Inn, the Apothecary and the looming presence of the church graveyard.
