Places to visit

Bronte country is an area of contrasts - from the unspoilt dramatic moors to old industrial valleys where rugged villages lie, to the bustling town centre of Keighley. There are attractions and events happening throughout the year for you to enjoy and the following are only but a few:

Haworth - rich in cultural heritage famed by the Bronte sisters, whose novels were inspired by walking the wild and dramatic moors.

Keighley and Worth Railway - noted for its nostalgic steam train ride and for its film location seen in the Railway Children, Yanks and the BBC production of Born and Bred.

Cliffe Castle Museum - built in 1875-1882 as a millionaire's mansion.

East Riddlesden Hall - a National trust building housing a fine collection of embroidery, Yorkshire oak furniture, textiles and an amazing collection of fossils, minerals and crystals.
