A trip to Haworth and the Brontes

One of our planned trips was to the village of Haworth, which is known for two things: 1—its quirkiness and 2—being where the Brontes lived and did their thing.

The day was grey - but no rain. We had a leisurely breakfast and set off via Crimple Hall to charge the car. The trip was relatively relaxing apart from the traffic volume, a traffic jam in Otley and some more narrow lanes. We arrived at the car park and quickly found a space as it was 90% empty. Maybe Friday morning on a grey day is not popular with visitors here.

We walked from the car park to the church graveyard and church. The cemetery is huge. People must die here often. From there, we found the main street—just about the only one, as Haworth is perched on the side of a hill, and that street runs from top to bottom. It's very picturesque, though, and everything looks very old.

More mementoes were purchased, and the ladies went to the Bronte Museum. I went back to the car to listen to a podcast (I’m getting behind with those). We set our home address and set off back, but not how we came. Much to our surprise, Google navigated us back via the small village of Addingham that we stayed in for a week six years ago. It was weird driving on these roads again as we recognised landmarks. Even spookier, we were directed down the small side street on which our old cottage was located. It still looks the same, and the road is just as congested.

We arrived home and cooked a simple meal of pasta and veggies. Yet another great day in Yorkshire.Читать далее
